Location (City, Country)
Hurghada, Egypt (Red Sea coast)
Airport Type & Size
Hurghada is a key North African airport serving tourism-heavy routes from Europe and the Middle East. It has two parallel dependent runways:
- Runway 16L/34R: 4,015 × 45 m
- Runway 16R/34L: 4,014 × 60 m
The airport features two main terminals (T1 & T2) and approximately 51 aircraft stands, a mix of contact and remote. Stands support aircraft categories from B to F, with detailed configurations across both terminals.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Hurghada adds strong medium- and long-haul tourist traffic to the North African region. It connects well with many current in-game airports, supporting a wide range of aircraft. The airport also brings visual variety and a different operational flavor to the game (parallel runways, heavy charter operations, mix of old and new terminals).
