This is just the tip of the iceberg.
As one of my local mates from another Gulf country said to me during a visit to Dubai, "This is impressive, there's quite a lot of business potential".
When I objected that most of the building was speculative, he remarked, "No, not the construction. The commissions".
Those who follow Dubai will recall a raft of court cases from early 2008.
SR is just a samak saghir.

samak saghir = tip of the iceberg, i presume?
Actually, it means "small fish".
In Arabic adjectives follow the nouns: "samak" is fish and "saghir" is small.
