Arkia Israel Airlines to resume flights to Marrakesh, Morocco, after wartime hiatus

Arkia Israel Airlines announced it will restart direct flights to Marrakesh, Morocco, on August 24, ending a three-year hiatus caused by the ongoing war.

The airline will operate the route twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, utilizing Airbus A320 aircraft. This resumption aims to reconnect Israeli travelers with Marrakesh, described as one of North Africa's "most fascinating destinations."

This renewed service follows extensive collaboration with aviation and security authorities. Arkia highlighted that one-way fares will start at $329. The airline also reminded Israeli passport holders that a visa is required for entry into Morocco and advised them to complete the necessary arrangements prior to travel.

The direct route, initially launched in summer 2021, typically takes 5 to 6 hours. Before the war, Israir Airlines and El Al also operated this route multiple times weekly. Flights will arrive at Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK), located approximately 6 kilometers southeast of the city center.
