NileGuide Expert tip:
This venue is not on most tourist attractions lists and I couldn't fine a phone number to check for opening times, but assume normal hours. The facility is well kept,kid friendly and well worth a visit. There is a snack bar on location.Description:
The Emirates National Auto Museum contains the personal collection of Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of the Royal Family. He is also known as the "Rainbow Sheikh". The museum houses around 200 vehicles with many specialty and military examples on display.A few automotive oddities are found here. Outside one can find the world's largest travel trailer (per Guinness Book of World Records), another travel trailer in the form of a globe, a Lockeed L-1011 jumbo jet and a 2 story high Jeep replica. Inside, the star of the show is a 4X replica of a vintage Dodge Powerwagon pickup truck.
The pyramid shaped building is improbably located in the secluded desert dunes one hour's drive south of Abu Dhabi. Admission is free.
