Camp Mirage, Military support facility in Al Minhad, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Camp Mirage was a Canadian military facility at Al Minhad, Dubai, serving as a logistics center for regional operations. The base contained aircraft maintenance facilities, personnel housing, a cafeteria, and sports areas including a hockey rink.
The base began operations in December 2001 to support Canadian military activities in Afghanistan and southwest Asia. It became a central hub for equipment and personnel moving to operational areas.
The facility served as a meeting point for military cooperation between Canadian Forces and local partners, where personnel from different backgrounds worked side by side. This international presence shaped how the base operated as a shared working environment.
The facility is located at Al Minhad Air Base and is not open to public visits as it remains an active military installation. Information about operations there is limited due to security considerations.
Although treated as an open secret for many years, the facility played a crucial role in managing vast quantities of military equipment and personnel transfers. The location was known for its low-profile presence that avoided public attention.
