Mersa Matruh International Airport

Mersa Matruh International Airport (IATA: MUH, ICAO: HEMM) is a civil and military airport serving the coastal city of Marsa Matruh in northwestern Egypt, situated along the Mediterranean Sea. The airport provides air access to a region known for its clear turquoise waters and pristine beaches, making it an important hub for seasonal tourism. The airport handles a relatively modest volume of traffic, with operations increasing significantly during the summer tourist season when domestic and some international charter flights bring visitors to the area. It is managed under Egypt's civil aviation authority and serves as a key link between Marsa Matruh and Cairo as well as other Egyptian cities. Due to its dual civil-military nature, the airport's facilities are functional but limited compared to major Egyptian international airports. Capacity expansions and infrastructure improvements have been periodically discussed to accommodate growing tourism demand in the region.
