As of June 29, 2026, the Marhaba 2026 operation, which facilitates the annual transit of Moroccans residing abroad, is undergoing a strategic overhaul. The initiative, typically running from June to September, focuses on enhancing services at ports and airports to accommodate the influx of travelers during the summer season.
According to recent reports, the new vision includes digitalization of procedures, improved coordination between authorities, and expanded reception capacities. The operation is managed by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, in partnership with various government ministries.
Key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication, have been involved in discussions to streamline the process. However, specific details on the implementation timeline and budget remain unconfirmed as of this date.
The Marhaba operation is crucial for the Moroccan diaspora, with millions of Moroccans traveling home each summer. The 2026 edition aims to address past logistical challenges and ensure a smoother experience for travelers.
