This place is huge on the outside and massive on the inside. You must do the tour or else you don't get to see the interior. My favourite part was the wooden ceiling below the women's mezzanine floor. I've seen lots of Moroccan ceilings over the past 3 weeks but this one is the best. The 41 fountains in the... More

This is the most spectacular religious building that I have ever seen. It dominates the skyline of Casablanca and is probably the only place worth visiting in an otherwise average city. It features magnificent modern Moorish architecture with a splendid minaret, huge ornate doors and beautiful Islamic designs throughout. Anyone can visit for a reasonable price, probably best done as... More

This is a very modern Mosque being only completed in 1993. It is well worth a visit for the pure size and also for the attention to detail with the doors and mosaic tiles. The inside can hold 30,000 people (we didn't see inside because it was closed) and 70,000 outside. The cost of this mosque was almost 600 million... More

Do not even think of not paying the additional fee and not visiting the inside. Grandiose, beautiful, despite its immense proportions, or maybe because of it, will not fail to impress. Rich, ellaborate details and materials, a great work of religious architecture, open also to non muslins.

the minar or tower of the hassan II mosque can be seen from almost whole of casablanca. it is wonder of classical moorish architecture and modern construction techniques. its is built on a piece of land partially reclaimed from the ocean. perhaps it is the most visited place in Casa by the locals and tourist alike!

Since this is the only mosque that I have ever been inside, I had no idea what to expect. The place is gorgeous and fascinating. I can see how 18,000 worshippers fit inside the place during Ramadan--it's HUGE! The guide did an excellent job of showing us around and explaining everything to us. There's a cost for the inside tour,... More

Although I did not pay to go inside, the outside was spectacular. Photo opportunities abound and even for those of us who are not Islam, the trip was well worth the visit.

We did not have time from the tour to go inside, but stopping outside for 15 minutes to take some breathtaking photos was reward enough on a busy touring day. It was early in the morning, with the morning sun and no tourists (except our group) there. The blue sky was just the perfect backdrop for the photos. Immaculate building... More
