Royal Air Maroc Lounge

Fresh orange juice and a full refurb now define the Royal Air Maroc Lounge in T2.

This lounge sits airside in Terminal 2, mainly serving Royal Air Maroc long‑haul and premium passengers on oneworld tickets. Regulars say it’s a night‑and‑day upgrade from the old CMN setup, with a cleaner fit‑out, better food, and more seating near the main RAM departure banks to Europe, North America, and West Africa.

Hours track RAM’s wave schedule, so expect it open from early morning to late evening whenever long‑haul flights are moving, including JFK, YUL, and DOH banks. If you’re on a premium RAM ticket out of T2, this is your primary option; there’s no oneworld partner lounge in T1 that you can realistically use before a T2 departure without re‑clearing security.

Food has improved into “real meal” territory, with hot Moroccan dishes plus basic Western items at typical lounge quality. FlyerTalk users specifically call out fresh‑squeezed juice at the buffet, which used to be a rarity at CMN. Expect buffet service only; don’t look for an à la carte menu at any price point here.

Drinks are split across the main floor and an upstairs bar above the seating area. One FlyerTalk report mentions being cut off after three alcoholic drinks at that upstairs bar, even on a business‑class ticket, so don’t plan on a long self‑directed tasting session. Beer and standard spirits are available; champagne and high‑end labels generally are not.

Crowding hits hardest around the evening and late‑night long‑haul banks, especially before North America departures like AT200‑series flights. One review calls it “very very busy,” with every second seat taken and queues forming at the buffet. If your CMN layover is under 60 minutes during those banks, you may be better off grabbing one plate and then heading toward the gate cluster instead of hunting for the “best” seat.

Bathrooms sit inside the lounge near the back wall, and trip reports mention attendants checking and cleaning roughly every 20–30 minutes. That schedule kept the facilities usable even when the lounge felt packed, which is a step up from the public restrooms near the T2 security checkpoint.

What regulars do: eat once, grab a fresh juice or coffee, maybe shower if it’s working that day, then bail for the gate as soon as boarding shows on the screen. One practical tip: if you want alcohol, start at the upstairs bar early in your stay so you’re not hitting the three‑drink wall right before boarding.
