Hassan II Mosque

9.1
4.8/5
233 reviews
The Hassan II Mosque is located on the Atlantic coast of Casablanca and was completed in 1993. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim travelers. A significant portion of the mosque extends over the sea, allowing worshippers to pray facing the ocean—a design inspired by the Quranic imagery of "the throne upon the water." Standing beside the mosque is its approx. 210 m tall minaret, topped with a laser beam pointing toward Mecca, visible from many parts of the city and even the sea. The mosque can accommodate over 100,000 worshippers simultaneously, both inside and outside, ranking among the largest in the world. Visitors must join guided tours to explore the mosque, which includes access to the prayer hall—a rare opportunity. The hall features polished marble floors, cedar wood carvings from the Middle Atlas Mountains, hand-cut glazed mosaics, and smooth plaster walls, all illuminated by Murano glass chandeliers. The central roof can open, allowing the hall to bask in sunlight on clear days. Outside, the seaside plaza and seawall offer iconic views, with white stone walls reflecting the Atlantic's blue hues and waves crashing nearby. Visitors are reminded to observe religious etiquette: shoes must be removed before entering, shoulders and knees should be covered, and women are advised to cover their hair (scarves are often available at the entrance). Photography is permitted during tours, but avoid pointing cameras at worshippers. In the morning, sunlight streams into the hall, highlighting the intricate mosaics and stonework. At dusk, the minaret framed against the sunset is a quintessential image of Casablanca.Morocco · Casablanca

The ancient city of Meknes has a 25-kilometer-long wall, which is the longest, most complete, most complex and richest ancient wall in Morocco and is a world cultural heritage. The city gate is very distinctive.

The distance from Meknes to the ancient city of Volubilis is about 35km. Driving along the way is definitely a pleasure, especially the change from the dry and barren eastern mountains to the moist and multi-layered vegetation slopes. There are surprises hidden at every turn.

The Roman province in North Africa Volubilis is the westernmost fortress of the Roman Empire and one of the best preserved Roman monuments in Morocco. The city was built in the 3rd century BC and was once the capital of the Kingdom of Mauritania and the administrative center of the Roman Empire in North Africa. In 1755, Volubilis was damaged by the Lisbon earthquake. Since 1914, archaeologists have begun to study the unearthed ruins and cultural relics. There are ancient Roman buildings and mosaics in the ruins. Come here and witness the glorious days of the Roman Eastern Empire! 150th day of marriage travel, 10th country Morocco

Visiting the Hassan II Mosque was the absolute highlight of my time in Casablanca. From the moment I stepped onto the oceanfront esplanade, I was struck by its sheer scale—the intricate zellij tilework, carved cedar ceilings, and the towering 210-meter minaret are breathtaking in person. The guided tour was well-organized and gave fascinating insight into Moroccan craftsmanship and Islamic tradition, but the most unforgettable moment was standing in the glass-floored prayer hall, watching the Atlantic waves roll directly beneath my feet. Even if you're not religious, this is a masterpiece of art and engineering that deserves a spot on any traveler's itinerary. Just be sure to arrive early for the best light and fewer crowds—it's an experience that will stay with me forever.
