About Casablanca

Casablanca är Marockos största stad och ekonomiska motor, en atlantisk storstad med art déco-boulevarder, en strandpromenad och en monumental moské.

Hassan II-moskén står på en plattform över oceanen, med en minaret bland världens högsta och en bönesal dekorerad med skuret cederträ, marmor och zellige-kakel av tusentals hantverkare. Det är en av få moskéer i Marocko som icke-muslimska besökare kan gå in i, på guidade visningar.
