The King Hassan II Mosque
The third largest of its kind in the world, the King Hassan II
Mosque was designed by French architect Michel Pinseau. Perched on
the edge of the city of Casablanca, this picturesque structure
looks out over the Atlantic Ocean and features the world's tallest
minaret, towering at 689 feet (210m). Almost half of this mosque
lies on the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass
floor. This feature was inspired by a verse in the Qur'an - 'the
throne of God was built on water'. The mosque can accommodate over
100,000 worshippers.

Admission
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
