It is the largest mosque in Africa, and the 3rd largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's second tallest minaret at 210 metres (689 ft).[2][3] Completed in 1993, it was designed by Michel Pinseau and built by Bouygues. The minaret is 60 stories high topped by a laser, the light from which is directed towards Mecca.[4] The mosque stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic Ocean; worshippers can pray over the sea but there is no glass floor looking into the sea. The walls are of hand-crafted marble and the roof is retractable. A maximum of 105,000 worshippers can gather together for prayer: 25,000 inside the mosque hall and another 80,000 on the mosque's outside ground

Far from dividing the city in two, in Casablanca, the city of the sea and the immaculate white, there is a point of connection between the old Medina and the new city, built during the French occupation throughout the 20th century. This nexus between classic and modern, between the past and the present, is none other than the United Nations Square, undeniably one of the most emblematic places in the city.
colloquially Habous, is one of the older neighborhoods of Casablanca, Morocco. Its development dates back to 1916, in the early stages of the French protectorate. The neighborhood is a cultural and religious center for Casablanca and for Morocco, as it hosts the Moroccan Ministry of Islamic Affairs as well as bookstores of important Moroccan and Arabic publishing houses. The many traditional and historic buildings also make the Hubous a popular tourist destination

Of interest and very beautiful to see is only the mosque. That alone is worth it, but otherwise nothing much. For the rest very helpful guide and drivers.
Our tour guide, MEHID, was an absolute joy to spend the day with-safe, conscientious, personal driver that catered to our every need. He was not only informative about the past, current, future history of Morocco but shared deep insights into Moroccan culture, social values, and customized the visit to Casablanca according to our wishes. Stellar service/stellar experience.
<p>I may not read the tour description thoroughly enough to realise that the private tour only included a driver who was supposed to be my guided driver and could speak English. It turned out that the driver was useless as the tour guide. He drove so slowly that it took almost four hours to get to Casablanca although he came in a Mercedes which was nice, new, clean and roomy for one person. I was told that I could hire another tour guide in Casablanca which would cost another 300 MAD. I did not do that because I already paid so much for this tour. It ended up that this driver could not understand what I wanted to see in Casablanca and he did not take me to the local attractions as stated in the tour description. This whole trip was a total waste of time and money.</p>
<p>Eden Andalou hotel was good apart from the hard beds and toilet that kept on blocking up. Our all inclusive deal with the food and drinks was great. There was always plenty of food choices of good quality and no problem getting drinks in the jazz bar. We took the shuttle into town twice requires booking to the medina market which was great and took day trips to the Atlas mountains, Casablanca and Ossauira. Would recommend this trip although the hotel is not an international 5 star but hey for the price its great.</p>
