Casablanca · Hassan II Mosque
Hassan II Mosque Guided Tour
A half-day private visit to Casablanca's defining monument — skip-the-line timed entry, a licensed guide and hotel or cruise-port pickup, around the prayer hall, the cedar roof and the seafront esplanade.
A Hassan II Mosque guided tour is a half-day private visit to Casablanca's best-known landmark — one of the only mosques in Morocco that non-Muslim visitors may enter, and only on an official guided tour. Built partly over the Atlantic, with room for 25,000 worshippers inside and a 210-metre minaret, the interior can be seen only on a timed visit. This tour books that slot for you, collects you from your hotel or the cruise port, and walks you through the prayer hall, the retractable cedar roof and the basement hammam with a licensed guide — from $65 for the group, with skip-the-line timed entry included.

What you'll see
Inside the Hassan II Mosque
The prayer hall & retractable roof
Step into a hall built for 25,000 worshippers, beneath a hand-carved cedar ceiling that slides open to the sky. Your guide explains the engineering and the symbolism as you go.
Seven years of craftsmanship
Zellij tilework, carved cedar, hand-cut stucco, Venetian glass and the great titanium-and-bronze doors — the work of thousands of Moroccan master artisans, read for you detail by detail.
The esplanade & basement hammam
See the marble ablution hall and the basement hammam below, then the vast seafront plaza where the mosque meets the Atlantic — the city's best photo stop, included in the visit.

Who it suits
Who the mosque tour is for
First-time visitors to Casablanca
The mosque is the city's one unmissable sight, and the interior only opens to visitors on a guided tour — so this is the way most people see it.
Cruise passengers on a Casablanca call
Port pickup, a focused visit to the mosque and esplanade, and a guaranteed return before your sailing time.
Layover travellers at Mohammed V Airport
The airport is about 35 minutes from the mosque. With a few hours to spare you can see it and be back with margin — ask about the dedicated layover tour.
Architecture & photography lovers
Few buildings in the world reward a slow, guided look like this one — from the zellij detail to the minaret against the Atlantic.

Frequently asked
Hassan II Mosque tour: your questions
Can non-Muslims visit the Hassan II Mosque?
Yes. Hassan II is one of only a handful of mosques in Morocco open to visitors of all faiths, and the interior can be entered only on the official guided tours. On this tour we book your timed entry in advance so you skip the ticket queue and walk the prayer hall, the cedar roof and the basement hammam with a licensed guide.
How long does the Hassan II Mosque tour take?
Plan for a relaxed half day. The guided interior visit itself runs roughly an hour, and around it we add hotel or cruise-port pickup, time on the seafront esplanade for photos, and drop-off. We build the timing around your schedule and your other plans for the day.
Do you book the mosque entry ticket for me?
Yes — timed mosque entry is included in the tour, and we secure your slot ahead of time. Visiting hours move around daily prayers and Friday worship, so we confirm an available guided time when you book rather than promising a fixed hour in advance.
What should I wear inside the mosque?
Dress modestly: shoulders and knees covered for everyone. Shoes come off before you enter the prayer hall, so bring or wear socks. Photography is allowed inside, so bring a camera or phone.
Is the Hassan II Mosque worth seeing on a layover or cruise stop?
Very much so — it is the single most striking thing to see in Casablanca and it is right on the coast. For cruise guests we collect you at the port; for layover travellers Mohammed V Airport is about 35 minutes away, and we keep a safe return margin. If your time is tight, ask us about the dedicated airport layover tour.
Where do you pick up from, and where does the tour end?
We collect you from any Casablanca hotel or the cruise port. After the visit we drop you back at your hotel, or you can continue along the Corniche seafront on request — just tell us when you book.
