Historic Egyptian air force base in greater Cairo.

Location
El Nozha, Egypt
Almaza Air Force Base, designated ICAO code HEAZ, is a military airfield located in the El Nozha district of eastern Cairo, Egypt. It has served as an important installation for the Egyptian Air Force for many decades and is not open to civilian commercial air traffic. The base sits in a densely urbanized area of the Cairo metropolitan region, which has significantly constrained its operational expansion over the years. Its proximity to Cairo International Airport means military and civil aviation operations in the area must be carefully coordinated. Almaza has historical significance as one of Egypt's older aviation facilities, having played roles in various regional conflicts and serving as a hub for Egyptian Air Force training and operational activities.
