An Emirati sheikh has built an incredible ten-wheeled vehicle made from a combination of a military truck and a Jeep in the UAE.
Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, who is based in Abu Dhabi, shared snaps of the monster SUV on his Instagram page.
Dubbed ‘Dhabiyan’, the motor is a hybrid of an Oshkosh M1075 military truck and a Jeep Wrangler.
One picture of the beastly vehicle shows it side-by-side with a regular car on the motorway, emphasising its enormous size.

The vehicle is 35ft long, 8ft wide and has a height of 10ft, and weighs an incredible 24 tonnes.
Sharing the details of the car, the Sheikh claimed it is known as the largest SUV in the world.
It features a huge 15.2-litre six-cylinder 600hp Caterpillar engine, which originally powered the military truck it was created from.
Although Instagram posts show the vehicle on the roads, it is believed the SUV is being kept at the Emirates National Auto Museum.
The impressive machine is just one of many expensive vehicles shared on the Sheikh’s Instagram feed.
Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan is a member of the ruling family in Abu Dhabi. The current ruler is Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Hamad bin Hamdan is known as the Rainbow Sheikh after he had Mercedes-Benz build him an S-class car in every colour of the rainbow, from the upholstery to the wheels.
