Hassan II Mosque is a mosque in Morocco located on the Atlantic coast of Casablanca. It is very large and has a great atmosphere of solemn tranquility.
Because I was in a hurry, I went shopping early in the morning. It was a little rainy at the beginning of the day, and then the blue sky and white clouds were very powerful. Because it was not opened, there were few people. Walking around, lamenting the exquisite and spectacular architecture.
Just magic. This mosque is the largest mosque in Africa and the 10th largest in the world. It’s around 40 min walk from city centre, but better to take a taxi.
Very lovely the mosque.
Hassan 2 Mosque is actually unique in its architecture and size. With its minaret that rises to 200 m in height and has a 30km laser directed towards Mecca, it is considered to be the highest religious building in the world. The idea of building a large mosque in Casablanca reflects the Royal will to provide the Casablanca metropolis with a great spiritual and civilizational monument of Morocco, giving it a harmonious urban development and allowing it to increase its radiance and influence based on faith, piety and tolerance.
On the right of Hassan II Mosque is the North Atlantic Ocean. The sound of the waves beating on the reefs is very beautiful. The setting sun is also beautiful. From a distance, the mosque stands on the sea independently. It is very beautiful! It took two months for a single bicycle to cross Russia's vast territory from China, all the way north to the Arctic Circle, across the whole continent of Europe, across the English Channel by train, across the Mediterranean Sea south to the Strait of Gibraltar, onto Africa, the poorest continent in the world, and also the most amazing land! Here is the world's oldest desert, the oldest tribe, the nation! A total of more than 30,000 kilometers of long journey through dozens of countries on the way! # Mr. Huang's self-driving trip around the world #
The interior of the mosque is large, quiet and a little mysterious. Marble walls, roofs and pillars surrounded by exquisitely carved patterns. The ground marble is shining and the pattern is very delicate. The hall contains 25,000 worshippers, and the outdoor square can seat up to 80,000 worshippers. This magnificent Hassan II mosque is considered the third largest mosque in the world, with Saudi Arabia and Mecca ranking first and second. The designer of the mosque is a French, non-Muslim. The construction of Hassan II Mosque started in 1987. It took six years, costing more than 500 million dollars. Most of the money came from donations from believers at home and abroad. The materials used are the best in the world, many from South Africa, Italy. The mosque symbolizes the unity, cohesion and creativity of the Moroccan nation, and the local Moroccans are proud of it.
