Al Ghaydah International Airport — Al Ghaydah, Yemen

Al Ghaydah International Airport, despite the grand name, registers as a medium-scale field, its single runway sitting 134 feet above sea level within the main town of Yemen's Al Mahrah Governorate, in the country's remote southeast. Al Mahrah borders Oman, and its distance from Yemen's more populous western regions makes air access especially important for the governorate. Low-lying and coastal, the airport's modest elevation reflects its position near the Arabian Sea, giving this isolated part of Yemen a direct link to the rest of the country that overland travel cannot easily match.
