Exploring the incredible transformation of the Persian Gulf from a collection of small fishing villages to the global epicenter of oil-fueled opulence.

Will these cities thrive in a post-oil world, or are they destined to become relics of a forgotten boom? " Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
