Remote desert airfield serving disputed Western Sahara territory.

Location
Smara, Western Sahara
Smara Airport is a small civilian and military airfield located near the city of Smara in the territory of Western Sahara, which is administered by Morocco but remains a disputed territory.

It is primarily used for domestic Moroccan routes and occasional charter or military operations, reflecting the broader administrative relationship between Morocco and Western Sahara.
Terminals
The airport has a simple, small terminal building with basic passenger handling facilities suited to its low traffic volumes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Smara city is primarily by road, with taxis and private vehicles being the main options available.
