Abu Dhabi / 阿布扎比

Abu Dhabi appears in vol.106.迪拜，真的遍地是黄金？ as the more political, resource-rich counterpart to Dubai / 迪拜. Ricky tells [[DavidWeng|大卫翁]] that Abu Dhabi feels more like the capital and state-balance-sheet center of the [[UnitedArabEmirates|United Arab Emirates]], while Dubai feels more like the open commercial city.

The episode uses oil and banking structure to explain the contrast. Abu Dhabi is described as holding much more of the UAE’s oil wealth, with banks and companies more tied to royal, government, and state-owned-enterprise assets; Dubai’s financial and property activity is framed as more private-capital- and high-net-worth-facing.
