On the Atlantic shore, its minaret towers over the waterfront, especially at night when a laser beam from its summit points toward Mecca. This "mega-mosque" is the second-largest after the one in Mecca. All the annex buildings, from Quranic schools to underground car parks, share the same monumental scale.
Overview of the Hassan II Grand Mosque
You can't miss the Hassan II Grand Mosque, the "new beacon of Islam," on the Atlantic shore. Its minaret—the tallest structure in the country (200 m)—dominates the waterfront, especially at night when a laser beam from its summit points toward Mecca. This "mega-mosque" is the largest after the one in Mecca. Its prayer hall is the size of four football pitches, and the esplanade can hold 80,000 worshippers. All the annex buildings, from Quranic schools to underground car parks, share the same monumental scale.
