Casablanca, one of the major cities in Morocco, is highly urbanized with not much to see. The only notable attraction is the Hassan II Mosque. It is the third largest mosque in Islam, following the Haram Mosque in Mecca and Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi in Medina. It is also the largest mosque in Morocco and one of the few that is open to non-Muslim visitors. Make sure to check the official website for opening hours to avoid disappointment. Tickets are required for entry and can be purchased on-site.

#100 Ways to Travel The reason I came to North Africa this time was because I had been in the UK for three months and decided to take a trip to Morocco with my friends. As for the Morocco visa, we chose to travel independently, but it turned out to be a real hassle (there are many recommendations on how to apply online). We used the most common application method, but we didn't receive the visa until the time of departure. We really went crazy looking for a private agent online. In the end I had to spend 250 euros to get an expedited visa before I finally got it done. Back to the topic, the usual way to travel in Morocco is to take a circular tour, visiting one city after another. We chose Casablanca as our first stop. Casablanca in English is “Casablanca”, which is simply Casa+blanca, meaning “White City”. We only stayed there for two days, so we moved quickly and picked out a few must-see attractions. The first is of course the Hassan II Mosque. This is one of the largest mosques in the world. It is located on the seashore and is so magnificent that it is beyond words! Especially when you see the minaret towering into the sky, it will really make you stunned. Part of the mosque is open to tourists, and you can go in and visit even if you are not a Muslim. The tile carvings and ceiling designs inside the building are so exquisite that you can't get enough of them. Another place not to be missed is the Habous Quarter, which is a bit like the old town of Casablanca and preserves many traditional Moroccan buildings and markets. These narrow alleys are filled with small shops selling handmade carpets, pottery, and spices, which are very interesting to browse. However, be sure to be careful with your belongings when shopping here, and remember to bargain! Although many prices sound cheap, Casablanca is relatively expensive compared to other cities in Morocco. It is recommended that you take a picture of the product you like and record the price. Of course, if you really like it, don’t hesitate, after all, the opportunity is rare. After visiting the attractions, you can take a walk along the Coastal Boulevard, where there are many restaurants with sea views. Sit down, order a cup of mint tea with some Moroccan snacks, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon while feeling the sea breeze. If you want to have a drink like we did, you have to be careful because Morocco is a Muslim country and alcohol is not available everywhere, only in certain restaurants. This time we went to Rick’s Cafe, which is famous for the movie “Casablanca”. We ordered it right away. Although the price is not cheap, the atmosphere is full and it is definitely worth experiencing. #NorthAfricaTravel #Morocco #Casablanca #UnpopularAttractions

About some tips at the airport in Casablanca tip: 1. Arrive at Casablan Mohammed V Airport at 2 pm and feel the Africa when you get off the plane. The hot temperature, the smooth exit after the plane, even the immigration card does not need to fill out. After getting the baggage, the first thing to change money, because the airport exchange rate is not very good, it is recommended that you put a little enough to take a taxi back to the hotel, there are many places in the city have change. 2. The plane has a place to directly handle the calling card. It is strongly recommended that you do a calling card. I used to rent mobile Wi-Fi online. It is really useless. I basically use my own traffic and pay the phone bill. 3. Take a taxi to the city center for around 300 dirhams and bargain with the driver. Always pay attention to the price before getting on the bus! ! They will never punch cards for tourists, and they have to ask a few people? Does it include luggage? A little tip of the accommodation: Melliber Appart Hotel 500 RMB/day/standard room / At the time of the time, it was fancy The location of this hotel is not too good! ! In fact, Casablan is mainly looking at the Hassan II Maritime Mosque. It is a five-minute walk to the mosque. It is very convenient to turn a corner! !

The Hassan II Mosque is located in the northwestern part of the city of Casablanca in the Kingdom of Morocco, at the western end of the Islamic world. The construction of the mosque has a direct relationship with the late King Hassan II. Construction started in August 1987, costing more than 500 million US dollars and covering an area of 9 hectares. One-third of the area is built on the sea to commemorate the Moroccan Arab ancestors from the sea. The entire mosque can accommodate 100,000 people at the same time. It is the third largest mosque in the world, behind the Mecca and Medina mosques in Saudi Arabia.

Casablanca The Hassan II Mosque is the third largest mosque in the Islamic world and the most modern mosque in the world. It was built to commemorate the 60th birthday of the former king and is the only mosque open to foreigners in Morocco. The large buildings are built on the sea, towering square towers, majestic palaces, arched round doors, connected corridors, open squares, and Arabic motifs in beige and green. All show the grandeur of Islam. Standing on the square, you can see the sea, and you can sit on the seawall and get close to the roaring Atlantic Ocean to experience the thrill of the surfers. Inadvertently looking, the beach is full of a couple, in the shadow of the morning sun, it is particularly beautiful. In this conservative country, love and religion can also be so interesting. The various carvings and green Marseille patterns in the interior are exquisite and can be described as exquisite. Since idolatry is forbidden, there are no portraits inside and outside the mosque. Because of this, its carvings and mosaic patterns are also beautiful because of their speciality. I have always liked this flamboyant color and pattern, which is one of the places where Islamic civilization attracts me.

I first gave everyone the basic popularity of the Hassan II Mosque. It was built in 1987. At that time, it cost more than 500 million US dollars. For Morocco at that time, it was poured out. The funds were mainly donated by people at home and abroad because of high morality. The beloved king had a dream, saying that Allah gave him the truth: God's throne should be built on the water, so the fundraising began to be established. The mosque can accommodate 100,000 people to pray. It is the third-largest mosque in the world, in Saudi Arabia. After the Arab Mecca and the Medina mosque. The Hassan II mosque opens its doors to Muslims all over the world. However, non-Muslims only have VIPs and special permission to enter the main hall. Muslims from all countries can enter at any time. Before entering the main hall, the guards will ask if they are Muslims. You can't get in without the Quran. The uniqueness of the Hassan II mosque is that one-third of its area is built on the sea to commemorate the Moroccan Arab ancestors from the sea.

#hiddengems The mosque’s location on a promontory overlooking the Atlantic Ocean allows worshippers to pray with a view of the sea, although there is no glass floor for direct observation. The mosque’s hand-crafted marble walls and retractable roof add to its grandeur. It can accommodate up to 105,000 worshippers: 25,000 inside the mosque hall and an additional 80,000 on the outside grounds. The complex also includes a madrasa (Islamic school), hammams (bathhouses), a Moroccan history museum, conference halls, and an extensive library, considered one of the most comprehensive in the Islamic world.

The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca has a tour guide every half an hour. It is very spectacular and worth seeing. It is one of the few female-friendly mosques. The building is magnificent and unique in style. The sense of volume of the brick and stone building is awe-inspiring. The guide has an accent in English, but he is knowledgeable and accepts questions at any time. It is very good.

Hassan II Mosque is located in the northwest of Casablanca, Morocco. The mosque was built by King Hassan II, with one-third of the area built on the sea to commemorate the Arab ancestors of Morocco who came from the sea.

Booked flights and rented a car through Trip.com. Stopped by the capital city of Morocco, Casabunga. Rented a car and drove around the city and its attractions. Stopped for Spanish food because I don’t usually eat local food. Spanish food in Morocco is so delicious. I really like it. If I have a chance, I will definitely visit again.

This is the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. #Welcome to Morocco

North Africa Morocco Tunisia Tour (16) The world's third largest mosque - Hassan II Mosque Marrakech-Casablanca December 20, 2024 Sunny to cloudy, 9-20 degrees. We arrived as scheduled today, and will return to our first stop in Morocco - Casablanca - ten days later to complete the planned check-ins. After lunch, visit the Hassan II Mosque. The Hassan II Mosque (Figure 1) is located in the northwest of Qatar and the westernmost part of the Islamic world. The construction of the mosque is directly related to the late King Hassan II. Construction began in 1987 and was completed in 1993. It covers an area of ​​9 hectares, one-third of which is built on the Atlantic Ocean to commemorate the Arab ancestors of Morocco who came from the sea. It has unique significance for the local people. The entire mosque's inner and outer halls can accommodate 100,000 people praying at the same time. It is the third largest mosque in the world and also a young mosque, ranking behind the Mecca and Medina Mosques in Saudi Arabia in terms of size and status. The mosque was designed and built by a French company. It is a typical Arabic-style building with a minaret 107 meters high. The jade pillars in the corridors inside and outside the hall are majestic. The building materials are luxurious and the interior is exquisitely made. It has become a pilgrimage site for Muslims in the surrounding area and a new landmark building in Casablanca (Figure 2-7). In the morning, we visited the Menara Park before leaving Marrakech. Driving through the new city, it is spacious and peaceful, in stark contrast to the crowded and noisy old city of yesterday. Menara Park, a tranquil oasis in Marrakech, dates back to the 12th century. It is most famous for the artificial lake in the park and the traditional Moroccan tiled house built in the 19th century on the lakeside. With its simple yet elegant design, it has become the landmark building of the park (Figure 8). At 9:00 p.m., enjoy dinner at Rick’s Café in Casablanca, one of the main scenes of the classic movie “Casablanca.” In fact, this cafe was moved here based on the movie scenes: the low-hanging palm trees, arched corridors, white exterior walls and dim yellow lights create a nostalgic and retro atmosphere of Morocco. Feel the thrilling romantic atmosphere in the movie here and put a perfect end to your trip to Morocco (Figure 9). Today, we are halfway through the 10-day trip to Morocco and have completed it successfully. Tomorrow morning we will fly to Tunis, our first stop in Tunisia, our second country.
