Dubai - Oil?

[jezzaaa]

Hi all,

I was surprised when a colleague of mine who lives in Dubai told me that Dubai have no oil! Now I'm sure he meant they don't have much left...but is that true? I know that Abu Dhabi is the biggest by a massive margin...but are Dubai really approaching the end of their supplies?

Ta,

Dubai's oil reserves are expected to last another 20 years. Oil revenues contribute to less than 6 percent of the Emirates revenues...

Hence the big push into real estate and tourism.

Dubai have no oil, at least by comparison to other nations (or other Emirates).
