The photo is taken looking north, perhaps slightly NNE. The furthest north that the moon sets is about due west. The Moon could never be where it is in that photo.
The lighting on the Moon is from the correct direction for Dubai but the photo would have to have been taken facing west or WSW.
Edit: also, while I'm not too familiar with Dubai, it looks like the area in the photo is not where the Burj Al Arab is. At least as far as I can tell from looking at other pics on the net...
