As you walk along the sea front, you cant miss what is claimed to be the largest mosque in Africa (or some taxi drivers claim, in the world.) Beautifully maintained, wide open spaces allow you to admire the architecture from every angle. Well worth passing by. More

For the very reason that this is the only Moroccan mosque that allows non-Muslims inside, this is a must-see when visiting Morocco. That said, I'm glad we went here at the end of our 10-day tour in Morocco and before we traveled on to Spain. Otherwise, we might not have appreciated the smaller, older mosques around the country that we... More

I went with my wife to the Mosque, it is so luxurious, it has the best materials you can find and it was built by the best craftsmen Morocco had at the time... the bad thing is that for this the Moroccans had to "bleed" dearly... as it cold more than USD 1 billion to built. It has a water... More

very tall and vast, a good example of a mosque....you can visit the toilet underneath it, with an attendant in tow taking pictures for sweet requests as well as a bit of money. Beautiful mosaic examples !! More
