Hassan II Mosque in pictures.
Completed in 1993 and partly built over the Atlantic, the Hassan II Mosque is one of the largest in the world and one of the few in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors. Its 210-metre minaret, intricate zellij, carved cedar and marble showcase the finest of Moroccan craftsmanship. Wave-spray and ocean light make its setting unforgettable.
