Which Aerodrome Mk III
Yes, it is the new airport at Riyan, Yemen. I am not sure if the tower was there when I flew from that airfield in the early 90s. I was in a Zimex Turbo Porter, which we used to do a geological tour of Wadi Hadhramaut – spectacular scenery.
On the way from Mukalla, we passed the old airfield which was littered with decoy Il-28s, a reminder of the recent Civil War.
Driving around on the plateau north of Mukalla, it took me a while to get used to my driver stopping to pick up hitchhikers armed with AK-47s. As a consequence of nearly every male being armed to the teeth, the civilian Toyota pickup, belonging to the security detachment of my company, had a 0.50 BMG on a tripod on the flatbed!

Looks like a USA style aeropark or whatever they're called, where people have houses next to the runway so they can taxy to/from their own hangar.
