In the little garden below the clock tower locals tend to congregate and socialize all through the afternoon. This is a great place to interact with the people or for the more reserved just to watch them. You are likely to be the only tourist there and they are most likely going to take a keen interest in you. Leave a Comment

The minaret at the Hassan II Mosque is the tallest in the world. It stands at 210 meters high and can be seen night and day from miles around. Leave a Comment

Here's a rare glimpse of me relaxing at one of the fountains. Before entering the mosque it is required that you remove your shoes. Remember to dress conservatively and try to avoid shorts despite the unrelenting heat. As you can see I chose to wear a bandanna as a headcovering although it is not required. Leave a Comment

This is one of the entryways on the exterior of the mosque. It is one of the many amazing examples of Moroccan architecture you can find here. Leave a Comment

This clock tower is iconic in the city. It proudly flies the Moroccan flag and towers over a nearby plaza where locals congregate and socialize. Leave a Comment

The prayer hall is elegantly designed in a palette of silvers and whites. Notice the small bags on the floor? Those are where people place their shoes while they pray. Leave a Comment

Visit the magnificent Mosque of Hasan II - the second largest mosque in the world (after Mecca). It's an amazing sight, white and green, magnificent, gorgeos!
The Mosque is rather young - the construction was begun in 1986 and finished in 1993. It is erected on the shore, and when you are approaching it, it seems to be standing in the water. It's symbolic, since water is the purest element. Leave a Comment

King Hassan II of Morocco built the world's 2nd largest religious building - the Hassan II Mosque. Don't forget to check out the turkish baths. Leave a Comment

Hassan II, 2nd biggest mosque in the world after Mekka
the interior of this building is worth seeing, for me it however doesn't look very impressive from the outside; I told myself that the reason must be the French architect, from those guys you cannot expect that they have the right feeling for harmony and architectural simplicity that you find at authentic islamic buildings (like the koutouba in marrakesh).
if you feel the same when visiting the mosque try to keep the judgement to yourself because all moroccans are simply in love with their national pride, the mosque of the mosque, the incomparable Hassan II.
