About Casablanca

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic engine, an Atlantic metropolis of Art Deco boulevards, a seaside corniche and a monumental mosque.

The Hassan II Mosque stands on a platform over the ocean, its minaret among the tallest in the world and its prayer hall decorated with carved cedar, marble and zellige tilework by thousands of craftsmen. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco that non-Muslim visitors can enter, on guided visits.
