Expansive museum 45 minutes from Abu Dhabi city housing vintage cars, custom vehicles, trucks, and military equipment collected by Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan. Large indoor and outdoor display areas. No café on-site.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with car-enthusiast children aged 6 and up who can sustain a walking visit in a warm environment. The scale and variety of vehicles holds attention across age groups. The desert location requires advance planning - carry water, wear comfortable shoes, and factor in the 45-minute drive from Abu Dhabi city.

“I heard about this museum by chance. A friend who lives in the UAE suggested that I visit it. My expectations were not high, especially after a long drive through the desert, but this turned out to be an absolute hidden gem. In addition to the collection of vehicles, functionally and logically organized, the story of Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan, The Rainbow Sheikh, fascinated me the most. In any case, absolutely worth a visit.”

Overview
Emirates National Auto Museum sits in the Abu Dhabi desert along the road to Liwa, housing the personal collection of Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan - the Rainbow Sheikh. Exhibits span rare vintage cars in showroom condition, oversized custom trucks, military vehicles, and unique one-of-a-kind creations. The collection is logically organised across spacious indoor and outdoor areas. The remote desert location is part of the experience, with the drive itself forming a scenic approach.
