# Smoking at Fès-Saïss Airport – FEZ

Yes, you can smoke at **Fès-Saïss Airport (FEZ)** — outdoors, landside, before check-in or security, under Morocco’s Law 15-91 (1995), which restricts smoking in certain places and does not reach the open air. Travellers also describe a smoking terrace airside, after security, in the boarding area.

FEZ is Fez’s single-terminal airport, about 13 km southwest of the historic medina, handling roughly 1.7 million passengers a year.

## Landside, Before Security

Smoking is permitted outside the terminal building, landside, before check-in or the security checkpoint — under Morocco’s Law 15-91, which does not restrict smoking in the open air. It’s also the first option after landing.

## After Security

Travellers describe a smoking terrace airside, in the boarding area. One placed it near the Hudson kiosk in February 2023\. Another called it a smoking terrace in November 2024, without naming a specific landmark. A traveller in 2018 said no smoking area existed after security at that time, so the terrace opened sometime between 2018 and 2023\. The airport does not list it, so follow the signs or ask staff once you are airside.

## Vaping

FEZ publishes no separate e-cigarette rule, and Morocco’s Law 15-91 predates vaping and does not mention it. Vape at the outdoor landside area; the travellers who describe the airside terrace say nothing about vaping, so ask staff before vaping there.
