The airport in Marrakech is small, with plenty of parking. It is located right within the city, making it easily accessible by bus or taxi. Although there is a project underway to add a second terminal building, for now it is just the one terminal.
Flights from here go everywhere--within Morocco and internationally, but the airport is rarely crowded and usually the airline counter check-in is the only line that may take more than a few minutes to get through.
One day I was actually able to go from airline counter check-in, exchange my currency, and pass through security all in less than 20 minutes.
The airport has only 8 gates, so that a gate change for a flight simply means moving from one end to the other of what amounts to just a large room. It is the only waiting area for outgoing flights.
When it's time to board your flight, you walk outside, cross the tarmac, and climb a set of narrow, metal, portable stairs to get into the plane. Strictly old-school.
All airports should be this easy to navigate.
