The Emirates National Auto Museum[1] is a national automobile museum in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[2]
The museum is located in Al Dhafra[3] about 45 kilometres south of the city of Abu Dhabi.[4] The museum has a collection of around 200 cars belonging to Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan in a pyramid building.[5][6][7]
The collection includes off-road vehicles, classic American cars, a Mercedes "rainbow" collection of different coloured cars,[6] an 1885 steam-powered Mercedes, and the world's largest truck. It has been featured on the BBC television programme Top Gear.
