It is a strange airport configuration: you pass through Passport Control to 'exit' Morocco but you don't go through Security screening until you enter your specific gate. Each gate in this terminal appears to have its own small security set-up.

Anyway, so we went up to the Royal Air Maroc lounge, showed the PLT card and boarding passes and were welcomed. It is just one large room really, with a self-service area providing sweet snacks and a standard assortment of drinks. They had one of those Nespresso coffee machines which I was curious to try and it was actually really good. They had 4 coffee choices. There were 3 internet terminals, though only 1 functioning, and apparently there was WIFI though I didn't have my laptop. Absolutely nothing special but there are worse ways to spend an hour or so in this airport.
Yes the security is strange but I thought you were x-rayed before you got into the airport, well from the train definitely.
Try three hours with no lounge access
Items sold in Euro so using up your Moroccan currency at an 80% fx rate
But a lovely country.
