الملخص EN

Jordan consider one of the most popular tourist countries in the Arab world, because of its middle location in the Arab world, which led to an increase in the number of flocking tourists to the various regions of the Kingdom due to the limited number of airports in Jordan I decided to design an airport in the Governorate of Ma'an, which is one of the largest provinces of the Kingdom and contain the most important tourist city such as the city of Petra which has been chosen as one of the seven wonders.At educational level Al-Hussein Bin Talal university is the only university in Ma'an, there are another Educational institution (e.g.

College of Shoubak, Ma'an UniversityCollege).The airport atMa'an city was proposed as ―Runway design and the structural design ofAirfieldpavement―isaregionspecific project workthat‘s aims to geometrically design the runway and orient it considering all the factors that affect including the environmental norms and regulation.

All the factors affecting site selection are considered and cross checkedwiththeproposedsiteconditionsandlocation.Enviroware‘sWind Rose PRO3 software is used to analyze and plot the raw wind data often year duration graphically as a wind-rose diagram and using Revit for 3D structural Design for pavement layers and for viewing the landing area component .

Federal aviation administration (FAA) guidelines and design criteria are strictly followed in the design and orientation of the runway.
