El Al will begin flying between Tel Aviv and Marrakesh on July 25 and between Tel Aviv and Casablanca on August 10th.
Round-trip flights for each city will operate 2-3 times weekly and will start at $498 for Economy Lite, $568 for Economy classic, and $1,098 for business class.
The 5-6 hour flights will be operated by El Al’s 737-900s, which unlike El Al’s 787s, are equipped with the Sky Shield missile defense system.
Morocco has been on my bucket list since reading this DDF Trip Report.Ā You canĀ find the DDF Master Thread on Morocco here.
Israel and Morocco agreed to establish full diplomatic relation as part of the Abraham Accords last December.
Hopefully we’ll see more kosher options in the country as we’ve seen happen as the UAE normalized their relationship with Israel.
Your move, Royal Air Maroc.
Will you fly El Al to Morocco?

I guess that zoom video you had with the OU really worked
Going to Morocco for Christmas but leaving from the states but this is great news. You can fly to Morocco using Etihad miles and than fly El Al to Israel š
It’s a very cool way to get to Israel!
”You can fly to Morocco using Etihad miles” ; with which airline?
Would it make sense to book this flight with qantas points?
Dan, will _you_ fly El Al to Morocco?
Are you sure the aircraft type is because of SkyShield? DXB is on a 787.
Certainly not, just pointing it out.
But who cares? Do you know anybody who actually flies LY specifically because of the system?
Sure. Plenty of people fly because they think they’re more secure and have a missile defense system.
Quite the ruse that this technology is de facto being phased out on the most important routes.
No, El Al wants it for the 787s.
But Boeing asked for a fortune and Israel has refused to pay for it to date.
The UAE has a far more advanced and effectively intrusive police state around Dubai than Morocco has in its cities, and so the UAE can provide the kind of aviation security from UAE-based explosive surface-to-air explosive projectiles that Morocco cannot against Morocco-based surface-to-air explosive projectiles.
All aboard that plane!
Funny how all the Ashkenazis are excited about going to Morocco…would have been if they could have checked they had towards Moroccans that came to Israel 50 years ago
Huh?
What days El Al will fly?
SkyShield was developed by Rafel an Israeli company not Boeing, and is not equipped across any entire type in their fleet but hooked up when necessary(rarely). true that it was not yet configured with the 787 series.
Israel blamed Boeing for wanting tens of millions of dollars:
