The 1 dirham banknote, Pick 1, prominently features a traditional dhow, camels, and an oil well on the front side, symbolic of the UAE's heritage and economic foundation. The reverse side shows a building and a clock tower, reflecting modern advancement. Printed by De La Rue, it bears the signature of Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
