On Sunday, Liam Murphy, a test engineer from Ireland, booked a trip with taxi driver Shakiha from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, and like many tourists over the years, asked to go to Ferrari World.

The journey takes over an hour and during this time, Liam got chatting to Shakiha. The taxi driver revealed that he had been taking tourists to Ferrari World for 14 years, yet he’d never been inside himself.

When most people go to Ferrari World, they generally book a taxi for the day and leave the taxi waiting outside for four hours. But on this occasion, rather than having Shakiha wait in the taxi, Liam bought his new friend a ticket and invited him inside with him.
