Where to Smoke

Travellers report a designated smoking lounge after security near Departure Gate A1, beside the Royal Morocco VIP lounge. It is described as an enclosed, sealed two-level area fitted with smoke extraction. Official confirmation from ONDA could not be obtained, so treat the exact location and access as reported by travellers rather than confirmed.

No verified designated outdoor smoking area before security was found at the airport. If you need to smoke before passing through security, plan to do so outside the terminal building before you check in.

Vaping

Vaping at the airport is treated the same as smoking, so use the reported designated smoking lounge for vaping too. For Morocco’s wider vaping rules, see the Morocco hub link below.
