About Marsa Alam International Airport
Overview
Marsa Alam International Airport serves the Red Sea coastal region of Egypt, located at 25.555548N, 34.592450E with an elevation of 213 ft MSL. The medium-sized airport supports regional and tourist aviation operations in a strategically important coastal area of Egypt.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Marsa Alam are consistently favorable for flying, with 95.3% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences a prevailing northwest wind at 315° with an average speed of 10.6 knots, and temperatures ranging from 12°C to 39°C, with an average of 24.2°C. September, October, and December represent the most consistently excellent VFR flying months.
Notable Features
The single runway 15/33 is 11,253 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take full advantage of the predominant northwest winds. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable sea-level wind conditions, though observations indicate consistent directional predictability. Terrain surrounding the airport appears to be relatively flat with minimal obstruction challenges.
Approach Considerations
With runway 15/33 experiencing 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 4.4 knots, pilots can expect straightforward approach and landing conditions. Visibility averages an excellent 10 statute miles, with zero instances of observations below 3 miles and no reported fog conditions. Standard approach planning should focus on the consistent northwest wind pattern.
