The third largest of its kind in the world, the King Hassan II
Mosque was designed by French architect Michel Pinseau. Perched on
the edge of the city of Casablanca, this picturesque structure
looks out over the Atlantic Ocean and features the world's tallest
minaret, towering at 689 feet (210m). Almost half of this mosque
lies on the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass
floor. This feature was inspired by a verse in the Qur'an - 'the
throne of God was built on water'. The mosque can accommodate over
100,000 worshippers.
Address: Blvd Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah Opening Time: Tours from Saturday to Thursday from 9am, 10am, 11am
