A billionaire Arab Sheikh has built the World’s biggest Hummer H1.

The monstrous vehicle is 21.6 feet high, 46 feet-long and 20 feet-wide.

It was commissioned by Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of the Emirati royal family and politician.

The Sheikh's latest ride, dubbed the Hummer H1 X3, being driven in the UAE.

The mega-Hummer will reside in his 'Sharjah Off-Road History Museum' in the United Arab Emirates.

The Sheikh, who once carved his name into his own private island, holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of 4x4 vehicles at 718 models.

This video shows his latest ride, the so-called Hummer H1 X3, being driven to the location on public roads.

Built on the frame of a U.S Army LARC-LX steel-hulled amphibious cargo vehicle, it runs with four diesel engines.

The top speed is less than 20 mph.

Reps for the museum say it is: “Three times bigger than a normal Hummer H1 by scale and 27 times by volume.”

The interior is spread over two floors, both of which are still being worked on.

The first floor has stairs, a toilet and a sink. The second features a majlis (a private place where house guests and friends are received and entertained) with a 360-degree view. That floor also contains the steering cabin.

The X3 will be the latest addition to the Sharjah Off-Road History Museum, which is situated 30km north of Dubai. The attraction is based on the Sheikh's love of all-terrain vehicles.
