The same reason superstar athletes and athletic events are all flocking to the Middle East. Some of the richest fortunes on the planet are associated there, but they’ve been amassed almost exclusively on oil and in nations that are generally considered highly conservative and insular and in an area of the world likely to be most severely impacted by climate change. They are throwing hundreds of billions of dollars to try and get the rest of the world invested in them before the need for oil disappears and they are left to wither and die. Hence tourist cities like Dubai exploding practically overnight. There’s also been enormous spending in the Middle East on sporting events like the FIFA World Cup, golf, soccer and basketball stars, F1, boxing and MMA, and even eSports. Look at how valuable the fab industry has made Taiwan to the world. Something similar in the Middle East is something many oligarchs there would be more than happy to throw money at.
