Located in Qatar, one of the richest countries in the world, the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum houses an impressive collection of 300 rare cars, including Rolls-Royces, military jeeps, and classic Cadillacs.

Situated in the desert, the collection is part of one of the largest private collections in the world and offers visitors a unique experience through the evolution of automobiles over the past 120 years. Admission costs around $13 for adults, while children under 12 enter for free.

Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani, the founder of the museum and a Qatari billionaire, started his collection as a hobby, acquiring historic cars over the years. Among the highlights of the exhibition is a 1955 Cadillac convertible, considered an icon of the 1950s.

In addition to luxury and sports cars, the museum displays trucks and vehicles built by the Sheikh himself, as well as automobiles used by his father.

Passionate about his collection, Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani claims to know the history of each car on display. For him, the vehicles are more than just exhibits; they carry emotional memories and represent a part of his family’s history.
