Probably. I have to say though, their advertisements for tourists were a bit.. out there. 50°C+ outside? Come visit us, you can hang out in the AC mall, or go skiing in our fantastic artificial ski hall (all powered by fossil energy of course). Yeah.. no thanks. It's hard for me to imagine that they can keep up with this level of income with just tourism.

That didn't stop UAE from attracting nearly 16M tourists last year.

Only Saudi Arabia beats them (barely) in the Middle East, and that's mostly from religious tourism to Mecca
