Al-Jawf Domestic Airport lies at Al-Jawf in the Al Jawf Region of northern Saudi Arabia. It is a modest airline-served field built around a single exceptionally long runway, making it an interesting stop for simulator pilots exploring the sparsely populated northern reaches of the Kingdom, and it offers an ILS approach for practising instrument work in a remote desert setting.

The airfield has a single physical runway, 10/28, of hard surface construction measuring 11,987 feet in length. Both directions are lit, and runway 28 is equipped with an ILS, giving pilots a precision approach option when arriving from that direction; runway 10 is served by visual and non-precision procedures only.
