Doh!
You must look at the charts, and brief for landing on the runway. Its not too difficult! (Most runways have parallel taxiways, and some of them are old runways, as at HRG....but even so...)

A HUMBLE REQUEST TO THE MODERATORS 
Could you PLEASE encourage people to name the airports being referred to ? Pprune is a world-wide forum... it's excrutiatingly irritating to have remote airports referred to by their 3 letter designator...with the exception of the more notable airports it means nothing to most of us.. Thank you

HEGN/HRG why go there?, coz it's got oil, coz it's got sun/sand/sea (Red Sea coast) & as you'll see from the pic, tis/was a EAF front line air defence base as just over the Red Sea from Sinai and down the Gulf of Aqaba from LLOV/VDA Ovda Air Base in Israel. Well loved place for Northern Europeans for winter sun & fun. In the old days lots of expats in JED took the ferry over as Egyptian boats were wet (booze wise) for a days round trip JED/HRG/JED.
Not pleasant arriving in low vis blowing sand with a few Migs blasting off the (now) parallel taxiway with ATC telling they're holding for your landing.
