What people say

"Chances are you probably knew to visit the Hassan II Mosque. And for good reason. The Mosque is maybe the prettiest building in the whole country and should not be missed when visiting Casablanca. Despite only being thirty years old, the interior is crafted using traditional techniques. The vast size makes it the third largest mosque in the world. You will need a guided tour when you visit, which is offered in several languages. Check the website for times as this changes often season to season. You will also be able to view the small museum which discusses some of the Moroccan artistic motifs in the mosque. One last tip about visiting: dress code. When I visited, I was accompanied by many Western tourists who were dressed however they felt. I highly recommend you DONT do this. Make sure to cover your shoulders and at least down to your knees. Women should bring a headscarf to wear inside. They may not enforce it but it's culturally sensitive to make sure you are properly dressed"
"Consider joining a guided tour of the mosque to learn about its history, architecture, and cultural significance. Knowledgeable guides provide insights into the construction process and share fascinating stories about the mosque’s design and symbolism."

"The largest functioning mosque in Africa and a truly beautiful place of worship that anyone of any or no faith will admire. You can tour it too - the only mosque non-muslims are allowed to enter in all of Morocco."
