Who will win the Middle East? 

As a Qatari it makes me proud of Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, the whole region is experiencing a common goal.

We grow together 🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦🇰🇼 🇧🇭 🇴🇲

I have visited UAE last year. I think Abu Dhabi is also a big and underrated player. They are doing some phenomenal progress in fields of Upcoming technologies like AI.

As a Saudi this is what I believe- betting the gulf nation against each other is not valid. We all thrive together and seeing one succeeding will lead to the other success in the end.

UAE ahead from the entire region, and we wish them the best alongside Qatar. But Saudi Arabia is a giant that has been asleep for a while and has just woken up to change the shape of the Middle East 🇸🇦

Saudi has the most potential here, but they need to make doing business and residing easier because it's still not as straightforward as it should be.

Dubai is already the winner here and it is way ahead of the game!

Dubai and qatar are completely different and targeting different people, Qatar is for conservative people who love sport And dubai for ambitious business men who love hedonism and futuristic stuff

I lived in dubai as a Singaporean and I could see the huge potential I cannot wait to visit Doha and Riyadh

As a Qatari, i personally state that the whole region will win the coming years. But it’s nice to see Saudi finally and decidedly step in to the game and the focus to invest in things other than the military. It’s even greater how they didn’t just invest in the capital “GREAT" Riyadh and put a target to urbanize the whole of Saudi Arabia. If the kingdom’s projects finish on time and the vision is reality, they have a high chance of wining the 2030’s. 👑 👑 👑 🇶🇦 🇸🇦 🇦🇪

I love the video! It gives me hope that the world be a better place to live and inspire each other rather than wars and destroying each other. ❤

the thing is with saudi arabia !! they're not just spending all of their money for one city ( Riyadh) they're spending it for the whole saudi arabia like Jazan Economic City the red sea project al-ula jeddah gonna have the tallest skyscraper in the whole world neom the line mekkah/abha/tabuk also have a major project they have the two hoilest cities for islam they also have old cities that is more than thousands of year old like al ula they have cities that is green and pretty and theres a place in tabuk that snows every year and more (sorry for my bad english)

Your topic is not correct because Qatar is nation, saudi is also a nation but Dubai is a city don’t mix

I strongly recommend that all Middle Eastern countries also focus on developing a robust manufacturing industry. I believe this will greatly benefit you in the long term.

🔴It is the Arabian gulf not the persian! -Surrounded by Arab in all sides, even the Iranian side! - contians 6 Arabian countries, and 1 Persian that has very little exposure to the gulf. Then why on earth you call it the Persian gulf?!

The Thing is Dubai HAVE Already WON

Before the summit in Doha, I was eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness your presence on stage. I had set aside the time due to my devoted following of your channel. Unfortunately, I became preoccupied with other business engagements and completely missed it. Now, watching you delivering your report directly in front of the QFC booth where company registrations were occurring, it's surprising how I managed to miss you, considering that I spent the majority of my time at the venue positioned adjacent to the exact spot where you were standing.

i dont know about qatar or saudi but am pretty sure uae is the only place that won people hearts around the world.

Been to Dubai once, Id like to go again

دول الخليج شعب واحد نحن ننمو مع بعض 🇸🇦🇶🇦🇧🇭🇰🇼🇦🇪🇴🇲

it's arabian gulf, not persian gulf.

One big problem i guess is that none of them is a nation state. They r the huge family owned enterprises that rule the masses and large lands, a modified version of east india company.

It's a flying geese model similar to the Asian tigers and other Asian countries, Dubai was the first to lead and then other regional cities started to flock.

It'll be you, Uptin! If we work together. Help me bring Middle East tourists to my amazing city in Vietnam.

They all should invest in military, science and technology, innovation, cybersecurity, water technologies, world class educational institutions, diversity and local manufacturing as a priority first. I have no issue against their will to build beautiful buildings and cities but those are way less important that the above mentioned core issues.

Dubai is the leader at this point While Qatar is catching up but Saudi is in progress and gonna last because they have more population compared two other nations and they have an unstoppable Kingdom with a lot ambition for the future #Arabtotheworld

Dubai is way ahead.

As arab i am happy with this competition. It’s like brother is trying to get the highest grades

Dubai is futuristic, but unsustainable for normal ppl but might become the rich ppl hub. Saudi has the PR, but the facilities are still way behind. The forced liberalisation of the society will provoke a rebellion from the religious population, which is most Saudis, sooner or later. Very risky. Qatar is the quieter one, balances quality of life with development in tech and infrastructure. Qatar seems to be winning.

Sand and extreme heat will eventually win over oil princes preoccupied about “skyscraper” measuring contests and tacky utopias.

I don’t like this idea that one has to win, it’s very American. The Middle East is different and all three cities compliment each other.

i have worked for Abudhabi Govt. many people dont know that Abudhabi Govt has launched a tamm platfarm which is only in the world where all govt agencies are centralized thru one platform (tamm ) to do everything from your driving licence to getting tenancy agreement to just getting a fishing licence.

Is it possible to have a competition between the state of Rhode Island and the state of Wyoming with the state of Texas or the state of California? Every state in America has a competitive advantage, just as the countries of the Arabian Gulf have competitive advantages for each of them, but there is no competition between them because they are not similar, neither geographically nor humanly, nor in wealth, nor in ambitions, nor in the quantity and size of development opportunities, etc. We are happy that every country in the Gulf succeeds with its competitive capabilities, but it is not possible to make a comparison between them because they are not similar. In cultural development and the structure of the GDP of cities, it is reasonable to make a comparison between Dubai and Jeddah, or between Doha and Dammam. But between a large country and small emirates, I think this is a wrong comparison.

I believe that my country, Saudi Arabia, will be the land of opportunities and business in the future

As an Iraqi I am very sad to see that all these gulf countries are so futuristic and developed, but Iraq is still underdeveloped and falling behind😔

Of course, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a big country and not small like neighboring countries. It is the largest economy in the Middle East, with a long history and enormous potential. Saudi Arabia cannot be compared to small neighboring countries. There is geographical diversity in Saudi Arabia, mountains, forests, valleys, deserts, coasts, as well as sites of volcanoes and more than one thousand and two hundred islands. Does it compare to small countries in its neighbourhood? This is impossible madness. Now Saudi Arabia is taking its opportunity to develop and renaissance, and in the coming years it will be the first in the world and take its place as a great country.

The one that supports peace more than the others wins, so that is Dubai (UAE)

Dubai as it avoids conflict.

Iran and Yemen

we are not competing over the middle east my love, if any one of us falls behind the others will help her catch up. saudi, qatar, uae and the gulf are gonna win the world.

Only when gas and oil flow. Wind, solar will take over.

Saudi will be number one in. 3-5 years , they need the reputation more too with 2030 projects , the World Cup 2034 and other live sports, they have more new infrastructure/landmarks projects than the rest. But right this Moment the UAE/Dubai are ahead in every metric.

Türkiye, Argentina, Brazil, India,, South Africa and other developing countries have been trying for decades to crease international companies with brand names recognized all over the world (like Mercedes, Coca-Cola, iPhone etc..). They have not been successful. Can the 3 countries you mentioned pull this off? I highly doubt it.

Nah, we'd win

Arabian Gulf*

Dubai has already finished the race !

There is a major roadblock for these ambitious plans. There is a shortage of local, talented, educated workers. Talk to any foreigner who has worked in a GCC company, and they will tell you. The local Arab educated workforce is rich but generally incompetent. There is a pervasive culture of lazyness among the local workforce. It's shocking to me how many stories I hear from foreigners who have worked in GCC countries telling me about how difficult it is working with local colleagues. Go to any university in America, and you will see Arabs from GCC countries attending. However, these students are disappointing. They seem to think studying is unnecessary and cheating on exams is OK. What you end up with is a population with fancy paper degrees, but no real skills. The culture of laziness and just paying to have problems go away needs to die for these government initiatives to have any real lasting impact.

Saudi Arabia will inevitably win. They have the native population, the largest oil industry to constantly pump out the money they need, and they are forcing their companies that used to work in the UAE, to come back and make their headquarters in Saudi. Saudi is a sleeping giant that finally woke up from a long nap, they have the geography, the diversity and the soul and heart of Arab culture. Oman and Yemen are the only other in the peninsula to offer something culturally different.

I hope Qatar, UAE and Saudi helps Iraq and other middle east countries to prosper together and leaving any kinds of fundamentalism! Peace.

We do not compete with each other, we are complementary to each other. Secondly, there is no country called Dubai called the Emirates 🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦

A rising tide lifts all boats

There is no winner or loser, the potential opportunity is more bigger in the region the sute all cities to be winners . It's not white or black in this situation.

I assume there will be massive amounts of job opportunities for these cities? Gonna look into Doha as i have some family members that live there and seems to be good potential to make money.

What about Kuwait 😐

We are United in the Arabian Gulf

😎

2030’s will be huge for Arabian peninsula !

Yemen

Dubai is alread 30 years in advance , but Riyadh, Doha can be second and Jeddah , Abu Dhabi 3rd

none of them

Dubai > The rest

Dubai is investing a lot smarter . Saudi Arabia is the richest but they keep making wasteful spending

Is this peace in Middle East

All should visit oman is also beautiful country culture food everything I hope I can visit oman inshallah

Qatar is a country Saudi is a conutry Dubai is a city you can't compare

People here commenting about Arab brotherhood, where is that brotherhood gone when Palestinians are being genocide live on TV? Always remember nationalism is new tribalism

JORDAN WINS 🇯🇴

UAE has already won this but in 10-15 years they will face some serious competition.

$5,000 to register a company? Thats backwards thinking not forward. It should be $100 or less!!

7:36 "we are all like one body " go and try saying that while looking in the eyes of kids living in Gaza

No point in investing or living in countries that will never grant you citizenship.

Arabian gulf not Persian

I wish i could get some friends from arab nation

50 years ago Iran had what Arab countries are achieving today in terms of development and tourism 😞 dubai was a desert at the time , Saudi was about 1400 years ago lifestyle and who knew Qatar was even a country ..

Arabian gulf and fix your cover it’s UAE not Dubai

Khalijis are lucky that they have such great leaders. I wish my country had them 😢

The rise of the gulf and the fall of the west you can't say otherwise like no shit you don't even make half of your salary in the place you call home 😂

Dubai anyday

Sucks you cant get permanent residency

qatar is still 10 yrs behind dubai

Oh allah, please protect our beloved palestine!

Iran by far is winning 😅

Beautiful place, great people, but too hot for my taste....

Qatar is our love..... Pakistan and Qatar are brother nations.

Dubai is too far ahead. And it's more exciting

Kuwait Manama Muscat

None of them, they have lost what made them special - ISLAM

Welcome to Muslim Club. 😁✌🏻

Pls my muslims brothers avoid cow dung commu y k they behave like good with muslims islam but we know how they n what they u people also noticed that so thank u

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar might be successful. Saudi will be a failure though

UAE won already

I think the USA will win XD

Dajjal will win😢

None. No-one will ever want to live in a desert

IsraeI is better

persian gulf forever.

Its funny you mentioned that Doha, Dubai, Saudi will replace silicon valley, they will grow but cannot replace silicon valley because USA welcomes best talent of immigrants all over the world through citizenship, although I am not American culture but they know how to give values immigrant talent through citizenship and freedom of business they do not have anyone near competition.

Riyadh will win, it is capital of largest economy in middle east, it has a large and very young population and will not need to look at expatriate workforce after few years and Saudi have lot of Oil money.
