Tips for 35 min Connections
Confirm your connection is actually scheduled through Rabat, as most itineraries reroute via Casablanca instead.
Because flight frequencies are low, a missed connection here can mean a wait of several hours or until the next day.
Keep boarding passes and passport ready, as immigration and security lines, while short, are manual and can be slow with limited staff.
There are very few dining or lounge options, so eat before you arrive if you have a long layover.
Landside re-entry may be required for connections, since the terminal is small and not always segmented by passenger status.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one small terminal building, so all arriving and departing flights are handled within the same compact space — there's no shuttle or train needed. Passengers connecting between a Schengen and non-Schengen flight must pass through passport control and security again, which is done on foot within a few minutes' walk.
