In reply to your post no 716 Saroskeeterman, and at the risk of straying away from the topic of Sharjah (although it's not far away), I wrote on the thread "Airfields in UAE/Oman" in 2007 (!):
There are many old airfields around the UAE and Oman. One I visited fairly recently is Sumaini, Oman, at 24 39 10N, 55 53 40E. It is also visible on Google Earth, where you can even make out the white runway markers and the name “SUMAINI” in white. The striking thing is that it is absolutely clean, with no debris of any sort, not even marks from spilled oil or any sign of having been used. I have heard from a former Oman Air Force pilot that he landed a Beaver there in 1975.
