ILS, what ILS?

They have 2 ILS but it does not work and is on Test since years. You have VOR approaches with high minimas, 1600m, unusable if you have strong winds inducing sandstorms. WX is absolutly unreliable, forecasts useless. Radar Vectoring is sometimes available but not very useful, be aware of mistakes. Otherwise constant altitude/DME callouts required, ATC is generally terrible, lots of noise on the frequency. The run no center lights, way is rough, rubber deposits and large waterpuddles after rain. The shoulders of the taxiways are soft and there are large potholes. Alternates are far away and Port Sudan is another story.
Yep I agree, a place to avoid.
