Hassan II Mosque
Rising straight from the Atlantic with the world's tallest minaret, Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque welcomes visitors on guided tours — but not with suitcases in hand.
About Hassan II Mosque
- The only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors, by guided tour
- World's tallest minaret at 210 metres, on the Atlantic seafront
- Large bags barred from the prayer hall; no on-site cloakroom or lockers
- Short taxi ride from Casa-Port, downtown and the old medina
The Hassan II Mosque rises straight from the Atlantic on a rocky spit at the western edge of Casablanca, its 210-metre minaret the tallest in the world and its prayer hall large enough for tens of thousands. It is the city's must-see landmark and the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims, admitted on timed guided tours that trace the hand-carved cedar, marble and mosaic interior. Many visitors come straight from a station, hotel checkout or cruise call with their luggage, only to find that large bags are barred from the prayer hall and the site keeps no cloakroom or lockers. Leaving suitcases with a vetted storage partner in the nearby medina or downtown, a short taxi ride away, lets you join a tour and walk the seafront esplanade unburdened before continuing your Moroccan journey.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring luggage into the Hassan II Mosque?
No. Guided tours do not permit large bags or suitcases inside the prayer hall, and there is no cloakroom or locker at the mosque for tourists. You will need to leave sizeable luggage elsewhere before your visit. Booking a nearby storage spot online means your bags are secured and you arrive at the tour hands-free.
Where is the nearest luggage storage to the mosque?
The closest vetted storage points cluster around the old medina and Casa-Port, a short taxi ride or brisk walk from the mosque. Drop your bags there before your timed tour slot and collect them afterwards. Reserving online in advance gives you the exact address and confirmed opening hours so nothing derails your visit.
I'm visiting the mosque on a day trip — is storage worth it?
Definitely. If you are between a hotel checkout, a station arrival or a cruise call, carrying luggage along the exposed seafront esplanade and through a guided tour is exhausting. A day's storage costs little and frees you to enjoy the mosque, the medina and the coast. Booking ahead locks in space on busy tour days.
