A beautiful landmark of Moorish history. Quiet and relatively less crowded. Easy walk from town centre. However, they can make it a better tourist experience by sharing a bit more history and having more areas accessible.

Hassan Tower صومعة حسان Is a very beautiful mosque. There are a lot of beautiful views from all angles. It is a very big and massive complex that is very beautiful! There is a lot of amazing architectural and engineering design to the complex! We got a really good tour of this area and we learned a lot about is cultural and religion in a nice long tour. The amount of detail that they put into building it is simply amazing! We really recommend if you are in rabbits that you come to this site and see the beautiful complex!

Parking was much easier than expected. Most interesting architecture. Traditionally dressed guards and even horses at the entrance. Great for a walk around the site.

Beautiful. Must see. Not just to see this Unesco site but also to look across the Bouregreg River at the new mixed use 50+ story hotel/apartment (tallest building in Africa), Mohammed VI, going up and the phenomenal Grand Theater of Rabat designed by renowned female Iraqi-British architect, Saha Hadid.

The whole place is a gem with great landscapes. Beware of the haze early mornings that gives some great photos.

This place seems to offer a truly special encounter with architecture. Its unique design elements must be fascinating to observe. It sounds like an environment that sparks curiosity and wonder. It is truly inspiring!

A very impressive combination of the Mosque and the Tower both of which are very near the Moselem of Mohammed for the fifth. The Hassan Tower is actually an incomplete minaret of the Mosque. It was intended to be the largest minaret in the world when it was commenced building in 1195 as was the Mmosque. However back in the day 1199 the relevant Sultan died and construction stopped. It’s still an impressive site within the overall complex.

Part of Mausoleum of Hassan. Counted over 900years shall be the most high minaret of unfinished Mosque, unfortunately Sultan Yacub Al-Mansour died and its original height of 86m was never reached. It’s now 44m and mosque around is not finished. Entry is free park under the tower is rarely accessible. Mausoleum on the other side worth visiting.
