The hidden gem of Casablanca: the mosque

#hiddengems The mosque’s location on a promontory overlooking the Atlantic Ocean allows worshippers to pray with a view of the sea, although there is no glass floor for direct observation. The mosque’s hand-crafted marble walls and retractable roof add to its grandeur. It can accommodate up to 105,000 worshippers: 25,000 inside the mosque hall and an additional 80,000 on the outside grounds. The complex also includes a madrasa (Islamic school), hammams (bathhouses), a Moroccan history museum, conference halls, and an extensive library, considered one of the most comprehensive in the Islamic world.
