The Hassan II Mosque, also known as the Grande Mosquée Hassan II, stands on the Atlantic coast in Casablanca, Morocco. Its address is Boulevard Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah, Casablanca 20250, and it sits within the Casablanca-Settat region.
What to expect
The mosque is one of the largest in the world, and its minaret is the tallest in the world at 210 metres. It is built partly over the Atlantic Ocean, so the sea is part of the view from many parts of the complex. The building can accommodate up to 105,000 worshippers, which gives a sense of its scale even before you step inside.
