After the oil boon of the 1960s Dubai grew into a hugely wealthy Emirate with a perfect geographical position in the middle east.  It’s home to the famous state owned Emirates airlines, and has plenty on offer for the luxury traveller. Surprisingly only 5% of the countries revenue come from oil, the bulk being from tourism.
