Al Mansurah is a military air base. It houses a wing of the Egypt AF flying with MiG-21 and J-7 fighter aircraft.
Be aware, plane spotting is neither understood nor appreciated in Egypt!
The air base has runways forming a V-shape. The northwest-southeast runway is a parallel one whereas the eastern one is a single north-south runway. Shelters and small ramps are situated near the runway thresholds. Preferable runway is 32R.
The air base is east of the main road that runs from Al Mansurah to the south, towards Simballawein and Zagazig. There or not too many opportunities to exit and cross the rail road. There is one close to the base perimeter and a crossing about 2 km further to the South which is a safer bet.
