city in Saudi Arabia
27°58' 45"N, 45° 32' 54" E
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=N+27%C2%B058%27+45%22+E+45%C2%B0+32%27+54%22&ie=UTF8&ll=27.979243,45.548286&spn=0.13765,0.329247&t=h&om=1

Looks all residential/commercial to me. The airport immediately to the south is
labelled "King Khalid Military City" in my atlas.

Well seen.
I also though to a military camp or a commercial spot but not regularly used
It is well the military based "Madynat al-Malik Khalid al-'Askariyah",
confirmed in wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Khalid_Military_City

Thanks
