## Description

Built to serve the Souf oasis around El Oued, Guemar Airport (IATA ELU, ICAO DAUO) connects a region famous for its Deglet Nour dates and its sunken palm gardens. Air Algérie provides the domestic links, chiefly to Algiers, and the traffic is firmly passenger-oriented. The airport has no cargo terminal, no dedicated air-cargo handling agent and no scheduled freight service; whatever moves does so as belly cargo. Exporters of Souf dates therefore route air shipments via Algiers Houari Boumediene (ALG), the national cargo gateway with customs clearance, or via the oil hub at Hassi Messaoud (HME), while container and palletised volumes truck to the Mediterranean ports of Skikda and Annaba. The N16 and N48 national roads tie El Oued to Biskra and Touggourt, making road feeder service to Algiers workable. For professionals, ELU is a regional feeder rather than a freight handler.
