Mohammed V International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 33.37° N, 7.59° W, on Africa/Casablanca time (UTC+1).
Mohammed V International Airport has 2 runways. The longest, 17L/35R, measures 12,205 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is asphalt. Both are lit for night operations.
Runway 17L/35R is aligned roughly south/north, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south/north alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
