The mosque is enormous. It is a true manifestation of the beautiful Moroccan handicraftsman-ship. It comprises a school to teach the Koran, an academy, a museum and a huge moroccan hammam that is not used.

Casablanca is quite a boring non tourist / business place and Moroccan's questioned why we were visiting. This mosque is probably the only thing in town that is really worth seeing! Big modern mosque which can be seen for miles due to having a massive tower. Architecturally superb and very nice setting on the see front. Great decoration. I'm nota... More

The huge mosque is truly impressive. Built on the water and decorated with massive doors, it is Casablanca's only must-see... Popular with locals and tourists. Make sure you go during the official tours or you might not be let in as a non-muslim.

In years to come this will be considered one of the great buidings of the world. The interior is spectacular, with marble floors and cedar terraces. The opening roof is amazing.
