Gate-side bar tables and ashtrays give Mazar its crowd
Mazar sits airside on the RAK concourse after security, functioning mainly as a bar-café where smokers camp at the edge of the seating area with drinks before boarding. It shows in scattered Google reviews as one of the standard options you see while walking toward the gates in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, rather than a destination on its own.
Pricing tracks with typical Moroccan airport markups: expect coffee in the MAD 25–35 range and basic alcoholic drinks above MAD 60, sometimes more for mixed options depending on brand. Food, when available, leans toward simple bar snacks, sandwiches, and pastries that are quicker to plate than to prep. Service pace depends heavily on how many flights are boarding in the next 45 minutes.
The menu changes, but you can usually count on espresso, bottled water, and standard soft drinks being in stock, with some local beers and basic wine by the glass. If you care more about a cigarette before a 3‑hour sector than about food quality, Mazar does the job, since the tables closest to the edge of the concourse attract smokers who don’t want to stray far from the gate area.
Seating is mainly low tables and café chairs clustered directly in the passenger flow between duty free and several nearby gates. At busy times, especially during late‑evening departures between 20:00 and 23:30, the space feels cramped and loud. There are no power outlets at most tables, and Wi‑Fi reliability depends on the main airport network rather than anything Mazar controls.
Practical tip: if you only want coffee or a bottle of water under MAD 40, pay at the counter and stay mobile near your gate instead of settling in; save Mazar’s tables for when you specifically want a drink and a smoke before boarding is called.
