Oukacha Lighthouse
Oukacha Lighthouse
Located on a rocky point at the entrance to the port of Casablanca, this white lighthouse serves as a navigational aid for ships entering and exiting the harbor. Travelers visit the site to view the Atlantic coastline and the red lantern tower against the sea.
Getting There
The lighthouse is situated on the outskirts of the city center. Access is typically via taxi or ride-sharing services. Depending on traffic conditions in Casablanca, the journey from the center generally takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Duration of Visit
Because the attraction is a landmark point rather than a large complex, most visitors spend between 30 minutes and one hour at the site.
When to Visit
Late afternoon is a practical time to visit to observe the lighting changes over the Atlantic. The coastal breeze is constant, so bringing a light jacket is advised regardless of the season. The area is generally less crowded than the central tourist districts, though it can become busier during local weekends.
