Here’s a nice article that quantifies the boom by country. No question Dubai and other UAE countries will be booming for years to come.

It shows the United Arab Emirates clearly leading the way in the region with 66 hotel projects, followed by Saudi Arabia (17), Oman (13), Qatar (10), Egypt (seven) and Bahrain (seven). The top ten multiple hotel projects in the planning, design and construction phases alone represent total investment of more than $18 billion (see table).

Earlier this year the Proleads database recorded a total of 185 projects planned or under construction across the entire tourism and leisure related sector in the Arabian Gulf including hotels, resorts, sports facilities, mixed-use malls, marinas, theme parks and other related facilities worth a total of around $90 billion.
