Imbaba Airport

Embaba Airport (ICAO: HEEM) was a pilot training airport in the Cairo suburb of Giza that was closed in 2002,[1] because of safety concerns due to buildings encroaching on airport property.

A theme park project[2] was approved, and construction began in 2009.[3] The airport is now gone, with the theme park and apartment blocks replacing it.[4]
