Al Dhafra Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The Emirates National Auto Museum houses a very large collection of cars, including the many Mercedes painted each color of the rainbow. Included in the collection is also this very large Jeep (the largest in the world and it actually runs) and a Power Wagon truck 8 times larger than a production vehicle. The museum is located a little ways out side of Abu Dhabi and is worth the visit. There is also a small cafe if you're hungry or want a drink.
