Facing the departure gates at RAK, Medina is the spot people warn about.
This café sits directly facing the gates in the departures area at Marrakesh Menara Airport, so you pretty much walk right by it on the way to boarding. It runs in the mid-range price tier ($$), but social posts and Google reviews keep calling out one thing: terrible sandwiches at higher-than-expected bills.
Multiple travelers in the “Morocco Travel Tips and Recommendations” Facebook group report the same pattern: order a basic sandwich, get something they call the “worst sandwich there,” then notice they were charged more than the menu price. One poster only realized this was common after checking Google reviews and seeing other people complain about being overbilled too.
Food-wise, the consistent theme is very poor-quality sandwiches. Comments describe bland fillings and sad bread that feels like it has been sitting around far too long. Given the mid-tier $$ pricing, you’re paying more than downtown Marrakesh café prices for something people say they wouldn’t finish outside the airport. If you’re hungry, snacks or a drink are a safer bet here than anything in the sandwich case.
The money side matters at RAK, and Medina gets flagged for alleged overcharging relative to listed prices. Travelers in that Facebook thread say they only spotted it after the fact, once on Wi‑Fi and scrolling reviews. The pattern: small differences between the menu board and the receipt that add up when you’re buying for two or three people.
Practical tip: if you end up at Medina because it’s right in front of your gate, photograph the menu board before you order and compare it line‑by‑line with your receipt at the counter; if anything looks off, ask them to correct it on the spot.
