Direct flights from Israel to Morocco will resume next week after a three-year halt, Arkia announced Wednesday, bringing back a route that was popular with Israeli travelers before the war.
The airline said it would restart service to Marrakesh on August 24. Flights will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, using Airbus A320 aircraft.

Arkia said the renewal of the route followed a prolonged period of work with aviation and security officials. Ticket prices will start at $329 one way.
The company stressed that Israeli passport holders must obtain a visa before entering Morocco and advised travelers to prepare in advance.
