What's the Most Unexpectedly Beautiful Airport?

Extra Details:

Not the biggest. Not the fanciest. Just one where you remember thinking, "Wow... I actually don't mind being stuck here."

There's something strangely peaceful about Kansai. 

Maybe it's because it's built out in the middle of Osaka Bay, but everything feels quiet and spacious. Watching the planes with nothing but water surrounding the airport was relaxing. I had a delayed flight there once, and instead of getting annoyed I just grabbed some ramen and watched the sunset over the bay. Not a bad way to kill a few hours.

Walking into the Marrakesh Menara Airport in Morocco felt like stepping into a piece of architecture rather than a transportation hub. 

The geometric patterns cast these incredible shadows across the terminal as the sunlight changes throughout the day. I was taking photos before I'd even left the airport. It immediately sets the mood for Morocco.
