Lots of cars, in an eclectic collection, assembled by a true enthusiast. The worlds biggest motorhome needs to be seen to be believed. More

We stopped here en-route to Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara. It's the perfect place to break the journey and enjoy a walk around & glimpse into "how the other half live"!!! My husband loved all the cars, where as i was in awe of the imagination used to modify some of the vehicles! It's AED 50 entrance fee... More

We had been to the "museum" before, and thoroughly enjoyed the bizarre eclectic nature of the place. The cars stored there are fascinating and kept in good condition. But now, there are entrance charges, formal opening hours and it describes itself as a museum. Do not be taken in by this, when we arrived, we were met by the man... More

Spoiler alert! This is not a museum, it is a private collection of automobiles stored in a giant tin pyramid. There is no information (or in a few cases, very little information) provided about the vehicles and this alone, defeats it's claim to museum-ship. It has no educational value and the collection itself is bizarre. There are some very nice... More

This is a private collection that has been made available for public viewing, not really a museum as such. The collection of cars is astounding when you consider this is one person's obsession. Some really unique vehicles (including the giant Dodge which was featured in many magazines and TV shows). The Sheikh is partial to Mercs, but has a whole... More

Free museum with lots of unusual and not so unusual cars, trucks and caravans. Juice bar next door also worth a visit. More

Its quiet a long drive from the city but a very decent collection of cars. I believe its the only private car collection in UAE which has been made available for public viewing. More
