Cairo International Airport
The runways, from navdata. Drawn to scale from each threshold's position, true heading, length and width, with north up; the idents sit beyond each threshold.
12 shared touchdowns. Each dot sits where it was measured: its distance from the threshold and its offset from the centerline.
Runways 23L and 23R are favoured now, by the live wind.
