Al Minhad Air Base is a major military installation located approximately 25 kilometres south of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It serves as a key strategic hub for the UAE Air Force and has hosted numerous coalition partner air forces, including those of Australia, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom, particularly during operations in Afghanistan and the broader Middle East region. The base has played a significant role in regional security operations and humanitarian missions. While primarily a military facility, it has been used for limited civilian and cargo purposes during exceptional circumstances. Its IATA code NHD and ICAO code OMDM reflect its registration as an airfield within international aviation databases.
