Tips for 55 min Connections
Avoid booking tight connections through RAK unless on a single ticket with airline assistance, as there is no true airside transfer process.
If arriving internationally and departing on another international flight, expect to reclaim bags and re-check them, which eats significant time.
Terminal 2 mainly handles low-cost and charter carriers, so confirm which terminal both your flights use before planning your transfer.
Passport control queues can be lengthy during peak charter season (spring and autumn), so build in extra buffer time.
Airport signage and staff assistance for transfers is limited, so ask ground staff early if you're unsure of the process.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 sit adjacent to each other and are linked by a short outdoor or landside walkway, not an airside corridor. Connecting passengers typically must exit through arrivals, pass through immigration/customs if arriving internationally, and re-enter via check-in and security screening for their onward flight, as there's no sterile transit corridor.
