Israeli travelers will soon once again be able to fly directly to Morocco, after Arkia announced Wednesday that it will resume flights from Israel to Marrakesh later this month, restoring a route that had been suspended for the past three years.

According to the airline, service to Marrakesh will restart on August 24, with flights operating twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, using Airbus A320 aircraft. Arkia said the route’s return comes after a prolonged period of work with aviation and security officials.

One-way fares will begin at $329. The airline also stressed that Israeli passport holders must obtain a visa before entering Morocco and urged travelers to prepare in advance.

The renewed service returns Morocco to the list of destinations accessible to Israeli tourists by direct flight after years in which the route was suspended.
