20 Dirham Note & Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club

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, pictured here, Dubai World Trade Center, and Jumeirah Mosque), and he was willing to drive me to all the three places which were very close to each other as well. I came to the Creek Golf and Yacht Club first, and had to go inside, show the employee the note and ask them which angle was shown on the note. They mentioned I had to go around and take a picture from the other side. Thankfully it wasn’t busy and I was able to go and take this picture, standing on the 10th tee!
