Supercars and luxurious classic motors are covered in desert dust in one of the world's most expensive car graveyards in the Gulf.
Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover and Lamborghini are among the brands on display at the Sharjah yard not far from Dubai city centre.
The heat and grime of the desert have taken their toll on the expensive vehicles but they are still sought after for their parts.
Most of their owners are believed to be expats who fled the UAE years ago after they defaulted on loans and left the cars behind.

Interesting article. I’d love to walk around that hi-end auto junk yard.
Any A10 warthogs available?
A 4-door Beetle?
I don’t think so.
Interesting article nevertheless.
there is and was one word created by the west....
auction.
let abandoned vehicles go to auction.
Interesting article. Thank you for posting it.
The article made mention of a financial crash in 2012. Was it one that was localized to the Gulf area because I don’t remember one here.
What were these expats doing in the UAE? Was it banking, shipping, oil, etc?
I also wonder what recourse the banks have for getting the expats to repay their loans.
That website os full of pop ups and virus attempts. More like click-bait than a legit article.
Perhaps one with a functional GAU-8 Avenger gatling gun? Perfect for home defense.
And general pleasure trips on weekends.
Those people are animals. Western civilization’s biggest mistake was importing and mixing them into our nations.
My first thought was “and not a single one of those vehicles was thought of, designed, engineered, or manufactured there.”
They produce nothing.
Lots.
There was actually a 4 door bug
built.....
Dubai has debtors prison. When the market crashed, a lot of these guys left their Ferraris in the airport parking lot and got the hell outta town.
I don’t know what that pic
represents, probably an artists’
rendering. The actual 4 door bug’s
rear doors were hinged on the rear
(suicide style), though they were
toying with the idea, the 4 door
bug never made it into production.
Imagine the clown extraction rate...

If you look at the photos the 4-door bug mentioned has suicide rear doors...
Interesting!
