Yes it would. Dubai is a small coastal emirate. Afghanistan is a large landlocked country in one of the highest mountainous regions of the world.
Afghanistans largest ethnic groups are Iranian ethnicities (Persian) and the historical and cultural background are very different from the Emiratis who are Arabs.
What you said would be like saying "Italy without Pasta would just be like Denmark."
Italy's isn't dependent on pasta though. Dubai is dependent on oil.
Don't underestimate the ~~soft~~ al-dente-power Italian pasta projects across the globe.
As for oil and Dubai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Dubai
Dubai isn’t dependent on oil. Oil makes up 30% of the UAE’s economy and an even lesser percentage of Dubai’s specifically.
Oil and the pearl trade made Dubai rich, but they managed to escape this dependency.
