A working mosque on the Atlantic shore of Casablanca, with part of its prayer hall built out over the sea. It is run by the Hassan II Mosque Foundation, which opens the prayer hall, the ablution hall and the hammam level to non-Muslim visitors only on paid guided tours between prayers. For Moroccan Muslims it is a place of daily and Friday prayer first; the tours fit around that.
