Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is a remarkable symbol of Morocco's cultural and religious heritage. Completed in 1993, it is the second-largest mosque in Africa and the 14th-largest in the world. The mosque's striking minaret, at 210 meters, is the tallest in the world, while its location partially over the Atlantic Ocean adds to its grandeur. Designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, the mosque features intricate mosaics, marble floors, and hand-carved woodwork crafted by over 10,000 artisans. The mosque complex includes a madrasa, hammams, a museum, and a library, making it a center of both spiritual and cultural significance. Its interior, which accommodates 25,000 worshippers, is highlighted by a retractable roof that offers a unique experience of praying under the open sky.

The most magnificent mosque I have ever visited, the tour guide in English did a great job. He even showed us the ablution room and explained the pillars of Islam in detail. The museum entry felt a bit useless, but they accept card. Tickets are 140 MAD each, entry for non-Muslims was recommended after 3PM as the mosque is closed during prayer.

Now this mosque is just something else. It is one of the largest in the world and going inside here it is magnificent in size and beauty. They also do a tour in different languages and you also get entry to the museum. It is a must visit if coming to Casablanca.

I would have seen hundreds of mosques in my life but this rates as one of the most magnificent ever.. it’s easily the most aesthetically done mosque and place of worship built in modern area.. its location next to North Atlantic Ocean adds an element of serenity to it.. The low profile of interiors despite being intricate adds the perfect balance to its spirituality .. this is undoubtedly the epitome of modern era aesthetic architecture

What a beautiful mosque! It's magnificent inside and out. We were able to catch the call for prayer during Asr time. However , I was a little surprised the call for prayer was not heard in the city which is surprising for a Muslim city. We managed to park on the street and walked for 5 minutes to enter the mosque.

Beautiful unfortunately it’s not open all hours. I understand they have to close during prayer times. There needs to be some sort of order and times stating when you can view the mosque. It would be good if they had capes/jilbabs for women to cover their head,shoulders and legs.
