The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca was completed in 1993 and is majestic not only in size but in the quality of the buildling. The result is one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world after the Masjid Al-Haram (Great Mosque) in Mecca and Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi (Mosque of the Prophet) in Medina.

At 210 meters, the minaret is the tallest structure in Morocco and the tallest minaret in the world. Above the minaret, laser beams can be seen pointing towards Mecca and helping believers position themselves more accurately during prayers. A maximum of 105,000 believers can gather for prayer: up to 25,000 believers can be accommodated in the prayer hall, while 80,000 people can be accommodated on the esplanade. The enormous expense used to create the mosque is a stark contrast to the rest of Casablanca
