What will happen to the Arab nations?

Given that oil is the main source of revenue for the oil rich Arab nations, what will happen to those countries once the global supply of oil is depleted? Is there any evidence at all to suggest that these countries will be broke once they have depleted their supply of fossil fuel? Or is there evidence to suggest that these countries have the ability to develop an alternative source of revenue, such as tourism (as in the case of Dubai) and manufacturing/exports as in the case of Korea, China and Japan?

Who will visit poor countries?
The oil supply may last for 500 years. belief in Allah , other will destroy themselves in consumerism or nukes are two major factors to their not saving for the future. Maybe have lots of gold . If they invest offshore, those can be frozen for flimsy reasons - so better have gold and watch the fun.

That was once attempted and failed, which does not imply it are not able to prevail someday. I suppose fangtaiyang supposed to mention The United Arab Republic which was once in brief composed of Egypt and Syria. (The United Arab Emirates nonetheless exists and is an excessively small country). Unity is well whilst the ones concerned can reside peacefully in combination. Maybe a few day.
