Al Minhad Air Base
Al Minhad Air Base, coded NHD, is a military installation located south of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, jointly used by the UAE Air Force and hosting rotational deployments of foreign military forces, including at times personnel from allied nations supporting regional operations. The base is not open to civilian air traffic and functions primarily as a logistics and operational hub given its proximity to the Persian Gulf and strategic Middle Eastern shipping lanes. NHD's location near Dubai places it close to one of the world's busiest civil aviation hubs, though the base itself remains dedicated to military transport, support missions, and coalition operations rather than commercial activity.
