RAK airport is it that bad? 6am Flight also CMN question
Hey y’all! Doing my first trip to Morocco in a few weeks. I keep reading horror stories about how long it takes to get through security and customs. I have a 6am flight RAK-CMN then fly on CMN- JFK later in the day. What time should I get to RAK airport in the morning since I’m flying domestic first? 4 am good enough? Also, same token going on a half day tour in Casablanca what time should I arrive back there for a 4pm flight? 130 or earlier? Will have my bags checked through! Flying RAM if that matters?

2 hours check in before RAK flight should be more than enough. Remember that there's security ie scanner check at airport entry. However at RAK at least that'll take a few mins at most. At CMN I would think quick.

update from Morocco. The answer is no. I was stamped out of the country on my first flight from Marrakesh they wouldn’t let me leave the airport they would not restamp me in to country.
