Question

What is the reason which made the Arabian Desert the most prosperous area in the world?

Answer 1

The Arabian Desert became one of the most prosperous regions in the world mainly because vast deposits of petroleum (mineral oil) were discovered there; the global demand for oil turned those reserves into enormous national revenues that financed rapid modernization, large-scale infrastructure, urban development and employment transforming formerly sparsely populated desert areas into some of the richest countries and cities for example, Dubai’s skyline and projects like the Burj Khalifa are direct outcomes of this oil-driven boom.
