Introduction

The Hassan II Mosque is a grand, magnificent seaside mosque in Casablanca, with one of the world's tallest minarets, overlooking the Atlantic - the city's number-one sight. Built in the late 20th century, it is Morocco's grandest, largest mosque and among the world's largest. Its most striking feature is the roughly 200 m minaret - among the world's tallest - with a laser at night pointing to Mecca. Uniquely, part of it is built over the Atlantic, so worshippers pray above the sea. Its decoration - cedar carving, mosaic tilework, stucco and a retractable roof - is exquisite. One of the few Moroccan mosques open to non-Muslim visitors (with a guided tour at set times). Dress modestly and respect the faith.
