                The ruler of Dubai might be a ruthless autocrat but he's at least building his kingdom to last beyond the end of their oil.

                  The special I saw said the transport system currently sucks but that they're already starting to build a state of the art system. It's amazing what unlimited amounts of oil money can build even though most of it is nothing more then white elephants.

                    Muslims should be content to live in poverty and give us barrels of oil for twenty dollars.

                        How is this going to survive when the oil money runs out? Or is he really building a cool site that future civs will find buried under the sand?

                              That's their stated goal. Supposedly Dubai is almost out of oil and that's why their Emir is going on a building spree; to create an alternative economy to the oil economy. The big problem I see is he's trying to create an economy by subsidizing everything in order to attract companies to relocate to Dubai. Once the oil runs out, and thus the subsidies, what's to stop the companies from simply relocating to the next subsidy haven?
