Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport

My experience at Casablanca Airport was overall very pleasant. I found everything I needed, and the staff was exceptionally welcoming and professional. I especially appreciated the fact that essential services such as internet, trolleys, and restrooms were free of charge, which is not always the case in other airports. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a dedicated prayer area, something you rarely see in many international airports. Overall, it is a well-organized airport that offers comfort, convenience, and special attention to travelers' needs.

The airport itself is nice and easy to navigate, but security coming into the country took absolutely forever. The parking lot is also quite chaotic. The bathrooms were also quite dirty despite the rest of the facilities being very clean.

The airport is very old and in a poor conditions. The official at the security checkpoint was asking for money, what a shame. But it looks that is common, because from past reviews people are complaining for such a bad habits. The boarding is horrible they make you go to what it looks a jet bridge but no, you have to go downstairs 3 flights in order to wait for a bus that takes you to the plane at a remote location.

Be prepared for long queues at immigration—typical of many airports around the world. It seems the number of travelers has increased, but the infrastructure hasn’t quite caught up, especially with the limited number of air bridges. On the plus side, the airport has a large and organized parking area. There are no fixers, hustlers, or unlicensed drivers hanging around, which is a big relief. Overall, a decent experience. Mohammed V International Airport is Morocco’s busiest aviation hub and a key gateway to Africa. Built by the U.S. in 1943, converted to civilian use post-independence. 95% renewable energy-powered. Recognized for service quality (e.g., 2023 ASQ-ACI award). Modern yet infused with Moroccan culture (duty-free, local cuisine, artisan shops) design. In short, Mohammed V Airport combines historical significance, modern efficiency, and strategic global connectivity, embodying Morocco’s growth and cultural identity.

One of the worst airports in my experience, sadly a real shame! With such hopes you arrive to this beautiful country only to be greeted by a greedy Immigration Officer at the Passport Control asking for a bride who very blatantly said 'People from your country get us Gifts!", to which I was taken aback but promised to get him "the net time". After clearing, your adventure starts here; you do not get Trolleys freely, yes, you need to pay a fee of MAD20.0 supposed to be refundable, but what with people who immediately do not have the local currency??? Even after you manage this, you get into a maze after this very little instructions or board signs guiding you to your destination. Wasted almost 45mins getting to the Terminal T1 from T2 which it was just a simple downstairs! Departure was slightly easy, nevertheless not easy with very few Baggage Counters, there was a huge Queue to stand in.

The airport has nice physical facilities but was clearly not built for the amount of people near the gates. Not enough seating so people line the floor along the wall, the 8-seat table/ charging station is taken up by staff having a tea break. There is no lounge. The ladies bathrooms were dirty with bugs crawling on the floor and toilet paper next to the bins although an attendant was standing at the entry holding her hand open … In no other airport have I ever seen staff so openly just standing around chatting instead of doing their jobs. Truly one of the worst experiences!

Very nice very swift processes. Improving everytime we visit. Arrivals passport inspection needs more staff during peak hours.

December 2024 4* Took flight from Toronto to Casablanca. Royal Air Morocco started direct flight from Toronto. The airport is not big but well designed. It is key hub for travelling to Africa. Arrival ———- The arrival was smooth and immigration was very quick. The baggage took a long time. You can get pre-book taxis from outside. However you will need to pay in cash. Not many restaurants at the airport. Departure ————— The departure was smooth. You need to go through security and immigration process. There are duty free shops but not many options.
