Hassan II Mosque: Moroccan Water Seller

    I spied this water seller amidst the crowd in the little garden. I would not recommend drinking the water they sell as tourists are recommended to keep to bottled water only. Also beware that almost everyone in Morocco expects you to pay to take their picture and they will try to negotiate ridiculous amounts of money for doing so. It is best to just tip them a few dirham and go about your way no matter how much they protest.

    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.

    Fountain
    by pabertra
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hassan II Mosque: Visit the magnificent Mosque...

    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.

    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.
