Morocco has welcomed 3,539,761 Moroccans residing abroad as part of the "Marhaba 2026" operation, a program facilitating the return of the diaspora for the summer. This figure represents a 1.24% increase compared to the same period last year, indicating a continued trend of returning residents. The Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity released these statistics, detailing the influx through various points of entry. Authorities anticipate the operation will soon enter its peak phase as more Moroccans travel to spend the summer in their homeland. “Marhaba” aims to streamline the entry process for returning Moroccans and support their travel needs. This annual event underscores the strong connection between Moroccans living abroad and their country of origin. Further details regarding entry points and operational updates are available from Hespress.
