When tourists visit the Ferrari World theme park in Abu Dhabi they usually book a taxi for the day and leave the driver waiting outside.

Not Liam Murphy.

Liam, from Cork, Ireland, booked a ride with taxi driver Shakiha this week and, as countless tourists before him, asked to go to the theme park.

On the journey Shakiha and Liam got chatting and the Indian driver revealed he had been taking guests to Ferrari World, said to be the largest indoor park in the world, for 14 years but had never been inside himself.

The £44 per head ticket was too expensive for him since he sent as much money as he could back home to his family in India.



Liam, meanwhile, was travelling alone on a work trip.

So when they got to the theme park, rather than leave Shakiha outside for four hours, he bought him a ticket and invited him inside with him.

They went on the Formula Rossa ride together first, reaching speeds of 240km/h in five seconds.

Next up was the Fiorano GT Challenge, where they rode in a Ferrari F430 Spider.

Shakiha got to check out some Ferraris.

Afterwards, Liam bought them both pizza.

Liam wrote about the pair’s trip on his Facebook page and told BreakingNews.ie:

I’m over here for a week with EMC carrying out MVT (Manufacturing Validation Testing) to set up a new distributor for a new product called Vspex Blue. So I’m travelling by myself. Every time he (Shakiha) drops passengers off he stays in the car for the day. I decided to bring him along for the laugh. He was great entertainment! I bought him some pizza on the way home. He was delighted with the day out

Awesome.
