Er no it's not, not unless the Dubians have a port full of British ships of the line, and frigates?
I happen to live near here, as well I think I'd recognise my own area, I hope I would anyway, especially as my father worked there in the dock yard for 20 years on and off and I was in there more often than the First Sea Baron.
I can even tell you what that area is called where the photographer is standing I know the area so well. Used to be called Spice Island as that's where you could get opium and just about anything else, including whores. Now it's a prestigious and expensive to buy houses in area of Old Portsmouth, times change.

Sure looks like Dubai to me. ARGH & I meant Burj al-Arab, obviously not Burj Dubai. Here's an aerial pic of Burj al-Arab, in addition to the one above:
