Step inside the 2-story pyramid and explore long rows of vintage and modified cars, trucks, 4-wheel-drive and military vehicles, and more. Must-sees include the Sheikh’s seven ”rainbow” Mercedes—one for each day of the week—a steam-powered Mercedes dating from 1885, and a bizarre Dodge Power Wagon replica eight times its original size. Afterward, head outside to view extra-outlandish vehicles, such as the world’s largest motorized model of a World War II Willys Jeep and an old Caledonian Lockheed airplane baking in the sun.
The museum is 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of Abu Dhabi, so a tour is the easiest way to visit. Opt for a trip to the museum that includes admission, free time to explore, and private round-trip transfers from the city.
