Al Udeid Air Base, Military air base near Doha, Qatar
Al Udeid Air Base is a military installation southwest of Doha in Al Rayyan Municipality, serving primarily as an air force facility. The site includes runways, hangars and housing for personnel from several countries.
The base was built in the mid-nineties to expand Qatar's military capacity. Within a few years, the facility became a major location for international operations in the region.

Visits are only possible for authorized personnel, and the grounds are not open to the public for security reasons. The facility lies south of the capital and is physically separated from the civilian parts of Doha.
The Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid controls airpower activities across 21 nations through its 60-million-dollar command facility.
