We went to Casablanca and explored the Hassan II Mosque located on a 9-hectare (22-acre) complex that is situated between the harbor and the El Hank lighthouse. It is located beside the Atlantic ocean shoreline.
It is the second largest functioning mosque in Africa and is the 14th largest in the world. The outside of the mosque is quite impressive and large. The mosque was built over a seven-year period and was completed in 1989. It was ready for Hassan II’s 60th birthday.
The minaret stands impressively high and is the second tallest minaret in the world at 210 metres (689 ft).
We were fortunate to be able to enter this amazing mosque and explore the interior. We removed our shoes and entered into the mosque.
The interior was quite large and with large ornate pillars that made it look even more impressive.
The marble floors were like a mirror and beautifully maintained.
We walked around the mosque admiring the architecture and exploring the different areas. There were an area where worshipers washed and prepare before the prayers.
It was fantastic visiting Hassan II Mosque and exploring the interior. It was a memorable day and a great experience.
