Quite a few successful Passover programs have been running in Morocco for a number of years. With the normalization of ties between Israel and Morocco, we expect even more programs and Jewish tourism. Pesach 2022 saw a number of great programs in Morocco. With travel back in full force, we expect Pesach 2023, which begins on on Wednesday evening, April 5th and ends on Thursday evening, April 13th, to see even more Pesach programs in Morocco. The Pesach programs took place in different cities but everyone agreed that it is a beautiful country with many sites to visit.
