Egyptian Air Force Museum

The Egyptian Air Force Museum is a military aviation museum in Almaza that displays aircraft from different periods of Egyptian aviation development. The collection includes fighter jets, helicopters, and military planes that document the technical evolution from the early 20th century onward.

The museum stands on the grounds of the former Almaza Airbase, established in 1930 under King Fuad I as Egypt's first military airfield. This location played a central role in the development of Egyptian aviation throughout the 20th century.

The displays honor the pilots and soldiers of the Egyptian Air Force through uniforms, medals, and photographs from different operations. These personal items show the stories behind the aircraft and reveal the human side of aviation history.

Your visit includes film screenings about the 1973 war, a flight simulator, and guided tours for different age groups. There are specialized areas and activities that appeal especially to children.

The Tupolev Tu-16, a Soviet strategic bomber, stands as the centerpiece of the outdoor exhibition and immediately catches your eye. This rare aircraft is one of the most striking planes in the collection and draws many visitors.
