yes they also have the tallest manmade structure (skyscraper) in the world, the burj dubai
they also only derive about 6% (dont quote me that could be lower by now) of their GDP from oil which is furthermore astounding.
though the richest city in the world is laughable, the population is only 2.26 million and their GDP is under 40 billion, comparatively the financial industry in new york city would dwarf that
also dubai isnt comprised but of a minority of arabs, as the largest ethnic group is indians at around 45% and includes other large populations of immigrants
Edit: NYC's gdp is over 1.1 trillion, and for further comparrison, st louis missouri has the 20th largest GDP in the country at over 100 billion
