Morocco Tackles Expat Queues Marhaba 2026
After strikes that recently disrupted maritime links between Tarifa and Tanger Ville, traffic is resuming normally. Authorities are working to correct past malfunctions and streamline the reception of millions of travelers expected this summer.
The official launch of Operation Marhaba 2026 was given on Wednesday, June 10 by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, in accordance with King Mohammed VI’s instructions. While the influx of Moroccans residing abroad remains moderate for now, preparations are intensifying in ports and airports to anticipate the peak traffic expected between the end of June and the beginning of July.

Faced with delays and long queues observed during the previous edition, port authorities and various stakeholders are multiplying strategic meetings. The objective is to analyze last year’s failures to guarantee smoother transit. This year’s forecasts are based on the passage of more than 3.5 million travelers and 800,000 vehicles from Spain.
The global reception system was activated simultaneously in Morocco, France, Spain and Italy. This reinforced network now relies on 26 dedicated reception spaces, strategically positioned closest to key crossing points used by the Moroccan community.
