Attractions in Casablanca Morocco



No trip to Casablanca would be complete without visiting the city’s famous sights.

Mosques

The Hasan II Mosque was built as a tribute to the former King’s 60th birthday and is regarded as the 5th largest masjid (mosque) in the world. It is an enormous building and has the ability to hold a total of 103,000 worshippers at any one time. It’s minaret is currently the world’s tallest standing at a whopping 210m (689ft) tall. It is made to look even beautiful as it is located on reclaimed land and it rises tall above the ocean. Some parts of the floor are developed in glass so it almost gives you the effect of praying on water. Just like many of the world’s great mosques, this ome in Morocco is definitely not to be missed!
