I was there a couple of years ago. Don't have any specs on the place but it is a military airfield as well as civil so get all the permissions and clearances before you go near the place. They used to {not sure if they still do} operate military hercs, 1900's and Migs out of there. Don't take you your camera out either. Otherwise from what I remember it is a good runway. Nice and long and in good nick.

Its been a while but I have operated a few tech stops through there.
Keep it simple.
Make sure you have overflight and landing clearance.
They are used to handling aircraft for tech stops.
Have your dollars to pay for landing clearance and fuel.
be carefull f the temperature, it gets quite hot after noon. Aircraft performamce.

I know a French guy who has organized some 'raids' there with a bunch of other French pilots. PM me if you want his details, he definitely knows how to get the various clearances.
