Suhaj International Airport
Suhaj International Airport, identified as HMB, serves the city of Sohag along the Nile in Upper Egypt, a region historically less touristed than Luxor or Aswan but rich in its own archaeological heritage near sites like Abydos. The airport primarily supports domestic connections to Cairo and seasonal or charter links abroad, functioning as a practical travel option for Sohag governorate residents rather than a major international tourist gateway. Many passengers are Egyptians working overseas, particularly in Gulf states, using the airport to reach or return home from family visits. Modest in scale compared to Egypt's coastal resort airports, HMB reflects the aviation needs of Upper Egypt's agricultural and historically significant Nile Valley communities, with ground transport connecting travelers onward toward the ancient temple complexes that draw specialist archaeological tourism to the governorate.
