Never has a cluster of treehouses looked so smart. At five-star Constance L!muria in the Seychelles nature gets top billing. Set on a lushly forested hillside in the north-west of Praslin island, this eco-resort has its own turtle conservation programme, a Shiseido spa and three restaurants, including the Beach Bar & Grill by the ocean's edge where just-caught seafood is cooked Creole-style. Enter this month's Where Are You? competition and you could win a six-night holiday for two here. The prize includes accommodation in a Junior Suite with breakfast, return flights from Heathrow to Mah! courtesy of Seychelles Tourism Board and transfers. The holiday must be taken by May 2015, excluding 20 December 2014 to 15 January 2015 and 28 March to 18 April 2015. For more details, contact Africa Travel on +44 20 7843 3500 or visit www.africatravel.com.
Identify the location where the photograph on page 148 of the May 2014 issue and send in your entry to arrive by 31 May. All correct entries will also be included in the Grand Prize draw at the end of the current competition period (1 October 2013-30 September 2014).
Clue: What a way to tour the world: inside a motorhome modelled on the globe. But unfortunately this recreational vehicle is not going anywhere fast (and besides, imagine the size of engine you'd need to tow it). It's permanently stationed in a car park in the desert. Behind it, and just as curious a shape, is a pyramid-like building that contains more than 200 cars and trucks belonging to a colourful petrolhead royal. Superlatives come as standard around these parts: the structure is 45km south of one of the world's richest cities and houses the world's largest truck, with four bedrooms inside the cabin and window wipers from an ocean liner. Reflecting the owner's kaleidoscopic tastes, his hoard includes a rainbow-hued collection of classic German cars and a shiny, disco-themed model. Some of the vehicles on show here have even appeared on high-octane TV shows in the UK. But should you visit, there's no guarantee you'll see all of these quirky displays. Exhibits can be rolled away at a moment's notice if the royal wants to take one of his prized possessions for a spin. Where are you?
To enter, identify the location on page 148 where the photograph was taken. Correct answers will be placed in a random prize-draw.

I would think somewhere near here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_National_Auto_Museum
The Emirates National Auto Museum
Abu Dhabi, United Arab
Just off for more links.
Globe details pic
ETA:
Abu Dhabi is the city: the structure is 45km south of one of the world's richest cities
rainbow-hued collection of classic German cars: via wiki .............A small collection of identical Mercedes limousines, representing together all colours of the rainbow, are the trademark of the owner.
I would therefore confirm the answer as: The Emirates National Auto Museum0 -
I agree with WeeOwens...

Museum holds collection of Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan (aka The Rainbow Sheikh)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamad_bin_Hamdan_Al_Nahyan
He constructed the world's largest truck; a replica of a classic Dodge Power Wagon, about eight times the original Power Wagon size. It has four bedrooms inside the cabin.
In 1983 he acquired seven Mercedes Benz 500 SELs, and they were painted one rainbow colour for each day of the week. The firm "Styling Garage" in Germany painted each car in the colours of the rainbow, they have matching leather interiors.0
