Amid a global push to ditch fossil fuels, oil-rich countries in the Gulf are working hard to diversify their economies and transition away from the very commodity that has been the source of their wealth for decades. This documentary examines efforts by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to transform their economies, through the eyes of foreign professionals from Asia.

We look at how they are lending their skills and expertise to develop new industries that promise to be new engines of growth for these countries.
