The 2018 Marhaba operation kicks off on Tuesday

The operation of receiving Moroccan expatriates dubbed «Marhaba» starts on Tuesday and runs until 15 September 2018, said the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity.

The Foundation, which contributes to the implementation and the organization of this operation, has set up 20 rest areas in Morocco and abroad to respond to the intensity of maritime and air traffic regularly recorded on this occasion, the same source pointed out in a statement.

These rest areas are: Tangier Mediterranean, Taourirte, Tazaghine and Jebha, as well as the reception sites of the ports of Tangier-Med, Tangier City, Nador and Al Hoceima, access points of Bab Sebta and Bab Melila and the airports of Casablanca Mohammed V, Oujda Angad, Agadir Al Massira, Fez Saiss and Marrakech Menara.

Abroad, the Foundation will provide assistance to members of the Moroccan Community traveling via the European ports of Almeria, Algeciras, Motril, Sete and Genoa, the statement noted.

Guides written in 6 languages and offering information to travelers could be provided by consulates, banking agencies in Europe and RAM agencies.

Over 1,000 social workers, physicians, paramedics and volunteers will be at the service of Moroccan expats.

This action has been reinforced by launching a mobile app and setting up a dedicated website: www.marhaba.fm5.ma.
