Morocco Records Over 67,000 Moroccans' Arrivals Daily as Part of Marhaba 2025
Rabat – Morocco records more than 67,000 Moroccan arrivals daily as part of the 2025 Marhaba operation, an initiative facilitating the transit of Moroccans living abroad (MREs) during the summer season.
July 14 recorded the highest number of arrivals of Moroccans residing abroad, according to government spokesperson Mustapha Baitas said on Thursday, noting that past and current weeks recorded more than 67,000 MREs arrivals on a daily basis.
This upward trend is expected to continue through this and the following weeks, stressing that the maritime plan has been strengthened with the deployment of 29 ships operated by seven maritime companies across 12 routes connecting Moroccan ports with those in Spain, France, and Italy.
The routes offer a total capacity of 7.3 million passengers and two million vehicles, marking a 3% increase compared to last year.
Air travel also expanded to reach 500,000 passengers per week, Baitas said, noting that 59 airlines have been authorized to operate around 2,135 weekly flights connecting Moroccan airports with 141 international destinations.
Baitas reported MAD 530 million investment to improve passenger reception facilities at ports of Tanger Med, Nador, Al Hoceima, and Tangier, noting that the medical coverage spans approximately 3,578 kilometers across major roadways.
The Marahaba operation kicked off on June 10 and will continue until September, with 26 welcome sites operating across the country and key European countries. Tags: MarhabaMarhaba operation
