Emirates National Auto Museum

Housed in a distinctive pyramid building south of Abu Dhabi, this private museum showcases a large, eclectic collection assembled by Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan. The site highlights rare, custom and oversized off‑road vehicles alongside novelty exhibits linked to Guinness World Records.

The publicly reported collection size varies between sources, so expect displays of over 200 vehicles on show and additional vehicles referenced in external accounts. Confirm current opening hours and ticketing via the official site or listed phone before you go.
