I musei dell'isola della felicita The Museums of the Island of Happiness

摘要

In anticipation of the exhaustion (perhaps no longer a remote prospect) of its oil reserves, Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven sheikhdoms of the UAE (United Arab Emirates), is investing a huge amount of its petrodollars in a scheme for the diversification of the country's economy. The objective, in the case of the neighboring emirate of Dubai, is to become a regional and international center of financial business and tourism (chiefly at the high-end), through laws turning it into a tax haven and major interventions in infrastructure and the real-estate sector.
