Shaikh Zayed International Airport (IATA: RYK, ICAO: OPRK) is located at Rahimyar Khan, Punjab, Pakistan. It is named in honor of Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan, as it was originally built for his exclusive use, so that he may visit his "Desert Palace" just outside the city. But he later donated it to the Government of Pakistan.
