Arriving through MEK puts you in Meknes, where an active military airfield near imperial walls, granaries, mausoleums, medina lanes, and Roman ruins. Skip the beige layover mentality: pay attention, behave like a guest, and leave room for the destination to dismantle whatever tidy plan survived baggage claim.
