The insider's guide, from travelers who've actually been through.
RAK is a compact, no-frills airport. The one PP-accessible lounge lacks showers, and airside food is Atlas Sky Café and a Starbucks near the gates. Bus 19 runs to Jemaa el-Fna every 20 minutes for 50 MAD (about $5), budget 35 minutes each way. If your connection is under 6 hours, stay airside; Moroccan immigration queues can back up to an hour when several morning budget flights arrive together.
