The event was attended by His Excellency Mr. Ibrahim Ajouli, the Moroccan Consul General in Jeddah, and Eng. Ahmed Al-Wasiyah, SAUDIA’s EVP Operations. Marrakech is SAUDIA’s second destination in Morocco after Casablanca.

SAUDIA will be utilizing its state-of-the-art Boeing B787-9 Dreamliner aircraft that is in a two-class configuration of Business Class with fully-flat beds and Economy Class with TV setback screens on every seat; designed to accommodate guests with the highest levels of luxury.

Commenting on the relaunched route, Al-Wasiyah said that “Relaunching Marrakech will help Moroccan pilgrims travel to the Kingdom for Hajj and Umrah during the season. In addition, it will serve as a great convenience  for domestic and international transit guests, especially when travel activity between the two countries is growing at an unprecedented rate and new aircrafts are being steadily deployed.”
