RAF Shallufa is a derelict airfield that played a role in Allied operations during World War II. Located about 10 kilometers south of Suez, the site features crumbling runways, hangar foundations, and scattered debris. While not officially maintained, it attracts history buffs and urban explorers interested in wartime relics. The stark desert surroundings add to the atmospheric decay. Visitors should exercise caution due to the site's dilapidated state and lack of facilities.
