100 Dirham Note & Dubai World Trade Center

I took this picture during a 14 hour layover in Dubai when going from Islamabad to Toronto. Emirates was generous enough to give a free hotel and visa and I decided to make the most of it by getting notes that had places in Dubai on them. After checking in to the hotel, I quickly set everything aside and got an Uber (surprisingly not expensive in Dubai) and told the driver about my project and the three places in Dubai (the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, Dubai World Trade Center, pictured here, and Jumeirah Mosque), and he was willing to drive me to all the three places which were very close to each other as well. After the Golf Club, we drove to the World Trade Center, and finding a good spot for a picture here was a bit tricky, since there a very fast moving road right next to the parking, and the best I could do was get on the median and take a picture from there. It was super risky, and I had to try to get the sun out of the view before I was able to take a good picture with the building and the note.
