You don’t know Dubai if you think he’s a religious fundamentalist
For those who are unaware, the UAE among many things, does the following:
Spreads and promotes Islamophobia
Justifies Zionism and the genocide in Gaza
Fights leftist and Islamist resistance groups
That should make it clear they aren’t Islamists or Islamic fundamentalists or whatever you think they may be. They are classist and socially conservative, but you don’t need religion for that. You can get that even from atheists.
Oil. I wonder if this guy really believes his own bs.
At its core he’s likely a religious fundamentalist, so yeah he does believe his own bs.

Impressive diversification, funded by oil.
Different countries do different things with their oil revenue. It could have been worse.
