However Dubai only receives 6% of it&#8217;s gross domestic product through sales of oil.   Increasingly a major source of it&#8217;s revenue comes from tourism.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"image341\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 5px solid white;\" src=\"https:\/\/feverishthoughts.com\/garden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/dubai_sports_city.jpg\" alt=\"dubai_sports_city.jpg\" width=\"163\" height=\"104\" align=\"left\" \/> Would you have ever believed that Dubai would have a fantastic sports stadium such as the Dubai Sports City property.  Just look at that.  It&#8217;s a first class sports arena.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, I&#8217;m thinking that perhaps someday Chris and I might visit Dubai, after all it&#8217;s hot all year round so we could go at any time of year and there are so many interesting places to visit.  Just the sheer history of the land. Hey, perhaps we&#8217;ll visit the artificial Islands such as Dubai Marina or The Palm &#8211; a completely man made island in the shape of a palm.
