Bottom photo - Yes this is a globe on wheels...one of the Rainbow Sheikh's many vehicles.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) had a rule that a man could only have 4 wives at any one time, but he never said anything about how many cars you could have. That is very good news for my favorite sheikh, Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan. He has a Mercedes every color of the rainbow and that is why he is called the Rainbow Sheikh. When he was making marriage plans, Mercedes shut down their regular production line just to ensure his car order was accommodated.

(I wonder if he has a wife in every color too?)
Eventually, he began building his own cars. Inside his garage is the world's largest truck, an enormous Dodge Power Wagon. It is a four-times full-scale model that actually runs. There are four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a kitchen, and a large living area inside, making it the largest motor home in the world. Outside, he keeps an even larger trailer home, officially the world's largest, according to the "Guinness Book of World Records." It's a sphere with the earth painted on it, containing eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
The video below explores a few of Hamad's toys. Words cannot describe the colors of these rainbows...

It is 23 minutes long and the Rainbow Sheikh part is about halfway in at 10:30 minutes. If you can't get this to load, go to Google and type in "Jeremy Clarkson - Dubai" and it should come up.
