I had a look on Google Earth and used Street View, the "Dome" is pretty flat.
I also had elevation at the max of 3 and it was still flat.
I went all around it from every direction up and down and sideways and it was still flat.
My opinion is that its just a house in the desert. The central hexagonal part is the house, it is only 41 metres across from side to side, so about 160m2 about the size of a 4 b4droom home.
The reason it looks like a dome is because of the spiral shape of the driveway.
And its only a driveway, not a road, has trees each side.
And the "metallic" part? its water
Those "grid lines" are bulldozed " roads", some have sand spilling over onto them. You also get those in the outback of Australia too.
To the NW near the edge of the grid, you can see other houses on elevated sand platforms, braqnching off from the fields of .... date palms??? olive trees????
Brilliant Architects, to make the spiral shape look 3D from the air

This one you can see a few vehicles on top of the facility.
Looks like it is a high dome and they use a spiral type road so trucks will not have to go up such a steep incline/decline.
Also if you think of it in Architectural terms this is a perfect design for a facility out in the desert, with frequent sandstorms (as you can see from the roads being covered with sand) the dome provides an elevated surface and also lets the sand that hits the facility roll off below. This eliminates probably millions in operating cost from having to hire someone to clean the sand off your facility.
Sandstorms Happen
This is from 2005:

They are not very well hidden then are they !
It has to be government run otherwise the private company that built them would be known around the world.
I still suspect a biological weapons unit.

True, but is Area 51 a hidden missile compound ?
