Berenice International Airport / Banas Cape Air Base — Berenice Troglodytica, Egypt

EES identifies an airfield near Berenice Troglodytica, a Ptolemaic-era Red Sea port that Egyptian rulers once used for trade routes reaching toward India and the Horn of Africa. Also referenced as Banas Cape Air Base, the facility supports both military operations and the country's push to develop tourism along Egypt's southern Red Sea shoreline, south of the better-known resort of Marsa Alam. Nearby lies Wadi el-Gemal National Park, a protected stretch of coral reef and desert terrain popular with divers and wildlife enthusiasts. Ancient emerald mines and ruins from Berenice's ancient harbor days remain scattered across the surrounding desert, giving the area archaeological weight beyond its beaches. Commercial passenger activity through EES has historically stayed limited compared to Egypt's larger Red Sea gateways, reflecting the region's slower pace of tourism buildup.
