Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport (AZR) serves the city of Adrar, located in the vast Sahara Desert region of southern Algeria. This regional airport is a crucial transport link for the local community, connecting it to the capital Algiers and other Algerian cities via Air Algรฉrie, and supporting the region's economic and social needs. The terminal building is a small, functional structure, designed for efficient processing of domestic passenger traffic. Its compact layout includes integrated check-in, security, and departure areas, reflecting its role as a regional hub in a remote area.\n\nSecurity procedures at AZR adhere to Algerian national aviation regulations. Passengers can expect thorough screening of both carry-on and checked luggage, along with personal security checks before entering the departure lounge. Due to the airport's regional nature, processing times are generally efficient, though it is advisable to arrive with ample time, especially during peak travel seasons. Boarding is typically conducted via a short walk across the apron to the aircraft, as the terminal does not utilize jet bridges. The desert climate means that dust storms can occasionally disrupt flights, so travelers should monitor forecasts and protect electronics from blowing sand.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are very limited. There is usually a small cafรฉ or snack bar offering beverages and light refreshments, along with basic restroom facilities. Travelers will not find extensive dining options or retail shops. For ground transportation, taxis are readily available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Adrar city center.
