its a ghost town all the structure is sun bleached and sand taking it over. the airfield remains operational but the base has been mostly sold to the state for development and is accessible by anyone with a 4X4 car because the backdoor is open and camel farms have been established around the inner layer of the base.
Canadians were asked to leave Minhad last year due to disputes over RMIs Blackberry technology and air routes into Canada for Emirates Airline. The Aussies are still there and occasional US Navy resupply runs for ships docked a Jebel Ali.
