UAE has succeeded in making a swift transition to a much less oil-dependent economy. I don't see why the Saudis can't.
Their plans can't change the cold hard facts though, oil is on its way out and the world will not need to tolerate their backwardness anymore.
It's already happening, the USA doesn't feel the need to be angry at Iran to please them for now, which is just another country that's infested with backwardness
