El Hank Lighthouse
منارة الهنك
A white lighthouse about 51 meters tall, completed in 1919 and standing on a headland west of the Hassan II Mosque, with views over the waves and the city.
El-Hank Lighthouse sits on a rocky headland at the eastern end of the Corniche. It serves as a navigation light for the Port of Casablanca, and its white octagonal tower is a seaside landmark.
Visitors can usually climb the roughly 250 steps to the top if the keeper allows it, typically in exchange for a tip. From the summit you can overlook the Atlantic, the Hassan II Mosque and the city. Opening times are irregular.
The rocky shore nearby is good for watching the waves, and the lighthouse is usually visited together with the mosque and the Corniche promenade.
Opening hours
Exterior open all day; tower climb depends on staffing
