Merowe Airport

Merowe Airport (MWE) serves the Nile Valley town of Merowe in Northern State, Sudan, close to the ancient Nubian pyramid sites of the Meroe/Napata region and the massive Merowe Dam on the Nile. Built primarily to support the dam construction project and to open up access to Northern State, Merowe Airport has functioned mainly as a regional and charter facility rather than a major international gateway. Its runway has also handled government, cargo, and engineering flights tied to dam operations and regional development. Given Sudan's ongoing conflict and instability, commercial airline schedules to and from Merowe have been irregular, and travelers should verify current operational status before planning any trip through this airport.
