The Emirates National Auto Museum is located about one hour drive south of Abu Dhabi, on the E65 road to Liwa Oasis . It houses the private collection of Shaikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan with ca. 200 exhibition items.
Signs on the highway to the museum are easy to follow and the exhibit is open free to the public (true at time of writing March 2010. Cost of entry was AED50 December 2011). However, it is advisable to check local news for latest opening times before the trip.
The building houses an unusual collection of predominantly 1950s to 1990s vehicles in various stages of customisation, hard to find in any other car museum:
With a workshop located behind the building, all exhibits are in excellent condition and several are roadgoing. Currently (March 2008) there is no catalog or description of the items on display. There are also many gaps in the displays with no explanation. Only a handful of vehicles have information placards at all and even then it is simple specification info. There is no history or provenance provided.
The official website of this museum is www.enam.ae. It is also not listed in the official Abu Dhabi tourism lists. It has been featured on BBC's Motorworld programme in the past.
