Once through security, you will find excellent facilities and amenities. Stay connected with Wi-Fi available in public areas throughout Terminal 2.

You can enjoy refreshments from cafés, stalls and restaurants offering a selection of Moroccan and international cuisine. For those last-minute purchases, a variety of retail outlets sell local goods and high-value accessories.
Basra is a truly vibrant and historic Iraqi port city. It's strategically located on the Shatt al-Arab waterway, which is formed by the convergence of the legendary Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This unique geography has often earned it the nickname the 'Venice of the East', due to its intricate system of canals and long history as a major commercial centre.
The city merges ancient culture with contemporary sophistication, and its roots date back to the 7th century. To immerse yourself in its deep past, visit the Basra Museum, which showcases a compelling collection of artefacts from the Mesopotamian civilisation.
For a taste of local life, explore the old bazaars, which bustle with traders selling regional spices, textiles, and Basra's world-renowned fresh dates. You can also experience the city's modern heartbeat during an evening walk along the lively Basra Corniche, a scenic waterfront promenade.
