Slavery as in actual people owning others as property or more like slave wages? I always thought it was just oil.
They bring in workers from Nepal and Bangladesh etc, and take their passports and then stuff 30-40 into a little apartment with no ac. They charge them thousands for the privilege to come work in Dubai and they have to live there until they pay off their debt
Closer to indentured servitude, which is a form of slavery.
No different really to the US' "post-slavery" sharecropping.
