El Jora Airport (HEGR) is a remote airfield in North Sinai, Egypt, close to the Israeli border, notable for its unusually long runways for a field of its size. It sees no scheduled airline traffic and is of interest to simulator pilots chiefly as a striking desert location with generous paved surfaces.
El Jora Airport, also referred to as El Gora Airport, lies in North Sinai Governorate in the far northeast of Egypt. It is not a hub for scheduled airline services, and its long, hard-surfaced runways suggest a facility built for larger or military-type aircraft rather than routine civil traffic. For a simulator pilot, the appeal lies in its isolated desert setting near the Egypt-Israel frontier and the challenge of operating into a field with limited published infrastructure.
The airfield sits in North Sinai, Egypt, in a sparsely populated desert region near the border with Israel. No specific airspace classification, FIR boundary detail, or nearby controlled airspace is given in the available material, and no other civil aerodromes are noted in close proximity.
El Jora has two physical runways. Runway 08/26 is 8098 feet long with a hard surface and is lit. Runway 17/35 is 7871 feet long with a hard surface and is not lit. There is no ILS available at the field.
The airfield can be contacted on RDO at 579 MHz and TWR at 118.2 MHz.
