Activist and satirist Heydon Prowse explores how Gulf countries have become some of the biggest tourism success stories ever, receiving almost 70m visitors in 2024.

From Saudi Arabia鈥檚 plans to build their own astonishing new buildings like Neom - a vast walled city in the desert, to Dubai鈥檚 Palm Jumeirah, one of the most audacious engineering project the world has ever seen, Heydon asks what鈥檚 behind the drive to attract more tourists, and what it means for those who visit.
