The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is an enormous building that stands in the misty air of the seaside.

The prayer hall can accommodate 25,000 worshippers in a total area of 20,000m2. 80,000 worshippers can pray in the courtyard outside.
The location of the mosque overlooking the ocean and built partly over it refers to the verse in the Qur'an specifying that the throne of God is on the water.
It is the only mosque in Morocco in daily use that non-Muslims can visit.
