Weather Briefing
MVFRTaba International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 15 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C, indicating very dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Blowing Dust. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Blowing Dust between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Blowing Dust between 12:00Z and 20:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Taba International Airport
Overview
Taba International Airport (HETB) is a medium-sized airport located in Taba, Egypt, situated at an elevation of 2,425 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the Sinai Peninsula region, positioned strategically near the borders of Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. Its coordinates at 29.594496, 34.775752 place it in a geographically significant location for regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2,425 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can impact aircraft performance and approach characteristics. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations typical of the Sinai Peninsula's desert climate. The airport features two parallel asphalt runways (04L/22R and 04R/22L), both measuring 13,123 feet in length, which provides substantial operational flexibility.
Notable Features
Taba International Airport's dual parallel runways (04L/22R and 04R/22L) offer robust operational capabilities for various aircraft types. The airport's geographic position near multiple international borders suggests potential strategic importance for regional transportation and potentially military or diplomatic aviation activities. The 13,123-foot runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft, from regional commuters to larger international carriers.
Approach Considerations
The airport's parallel runway configuration (04/22 orientation) indicates a consistent primary wind direction alignment. Pilots should prepare for potential desert environmental conditions that may affect visibility and aircraft performance. The extensive runway lengths of 13,123 feet provide substantial margins for safe landings and takeoffs across different aircraft categories.
