Temperature ranges widely from 4°C to 39°C, with a mean of 20.3°C, suggesting significant diurnal temperature variations that pilots should anticipate.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning in central Egypt implies potential for thermal variations and desert-influenced atmospheric conditions. The single runway (13/31) orientation suggests good wind alignment, with wind favorable 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of only 4.4 knots. Consistent high visibility (average 10 statute miles) provides excellent visual navigation conditions.
