Hassan II Mosque

An architectural masterpiece by the ocean. The Hassan II Mosque is absolutely breathtaking the sound of the waves mixes with the call to prayer, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The craftsmanship inside is extraordinary, with intricate mosaics, marble, and carved cedarwood everywhere you look. Standing beneath the 210-metre minaret felt truly humbling. It’s one of the few mosques in the world open to non Muslim visitors, and the guided tour was well organised and insightful. A must-see landmark that defines the beauty and soul of Casablanca.

Incredible and magnificent construction, certainly a must go in the city. The ticket is very good priced (140 full price & 70 Dirham reduced) and they have tours in many languages. It was special to hear about the history and purpose of a place for one people, the humans being, without differences. Super recommend on going and paying attention to the history and magnitude.

It is without a degree of exaggeration, this mosque reflect the genius and greatness of Islamic (Moorish) architecture. It is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest wonders. It is so beautifully constructed and overwhelmingly inspiring building. I have visited great places around the world and I will not hesitate to say it tops them all! Entrance is free.

Truly beautiful and awe-inspiring building. I love that the guided tours are included because it sets a good pace and gives context to everything you see. The artwork and architectural details are enough to leave you with your mouth open; not to mention the scale of it all. Very well worth a visit if you’re in Casablanca.

Really enjoyed our visit and our guide was Ilyas Lagssaibi. He has only been performing tours for a couple of months, however was very knowledgeable and was able to provide excellent commentary throughout the tour. He provided detailed information, in a way that was interesting and easy to digest. The mosque is impressive and has huge doors, which are operated automatically due to the weight and size. As many as 120,000 people can prey at a time! *Note* We found it very difficult to even find out where to buy our tickets! You must go to the mosque museum which opened at precisely 2.35pm after afternoon prayers had ended. Unsure about other times, this was the times for us. We paid 280MAD (2 x person) and visited the museum and then joined a small group for the tour. Shoes must be removed on entry and you're given a bag to carry them. Surprisingly, dress code was fairly relaxed and I was ok in shorts, which I thought might be an issue. (I had a sarong just in case).

I visited the Hassan II Mosque as part of my tour, and it was truly breathtaking. I was fascinated by the stunning architecture and the intricate artwork on the wood and tiles — an incredible masterpiece that beautifully reflects Moroccan craftsmanship and culture. There are two types of passes available: one for visiting only the museum, and another that includes both the mosque and the museum, with combined tours starting at the beginning of every hour.

The mosque is very beautiful and technically advanced. I enjoyed the interiors and the tech used for construction and how they open the ceiling was mind-blowing. Too bad I haven't actually saw it in process and only saw the videos/images in the museum. Avoid the guide inside the mosque, they were doing religious preaching than actually explaining the mosque.

Beautiful and huge masjid, largest in Africa. Situated on the ocean front. Open during 5 prayer times for 30 minutes or so. Women are allowed in separate area. Bathrooms underground.
