Taking off from the airport of
St. Catherine.
St. Catherine International Airport (IATA: SKV, ICAO: HESC) is an airport serving St. Catherine (or St. Katherine) city in the South Sinai Governorate of Egypt. It is located about 20 km (12 mi.) northeast of the city, which is near Mount Sinai.
There are currently no scheduled services to and from the airport. In 2011, the airport served 247 passengers (-72.6% vs. 2010). (*1)
We bid farewell to Mount Sinai, Mount Catherine and this massif with the
highest mountains in Egypt.
Flying to west we pass by the
village of Firan.
Leaving the mountains, the Red sea
can already be guessed on the horizon.
Getting to the Asian coast of the
Red sea. The African coast can already be seen at an altitude of 5000 feet.
After crossing the Red sea we get to the African coast and turn to the
north-northwest, to Cairo.
Some 1100 m high mountains in our way.
A little later the terrain raises to this plateu.
Getting closer to the Cairo International Airport we fly over the farmlands.
Final approach to runway 23C with a strong side wind. This time the ILS
approach in FS2020 worked perfect.
Taxi to the General Aviation parking in the Cairo International Airport.
