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 times your day to those slots, 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 guide —fixed-quoted in writing within 24 hours. Your guide buys the tickets on arrival.

Inside the Hassan II Mosque

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

What's included

Timed to the guided-tour slots
We plan your day around the mosque's guided-tour slots; your guide buys the tickets on arrival.
A private guide
A Casablanca guide who speaks English, French or Arabic — on the architecture, not a script.
Hotel or cruise-port pickup
Private door-to-door collection and drop-off in Casablanca, with bottled water on board.
Private outside, scheduled inside
The day is just you and your party. The interior is seen on the mosque's own scheduled guided visit, shared with other visitors; the mosque also lists a reserved private VIP visit for up to 10 people (fmh2.ma), so ask us if you want that.

Who the mosque tour is for

  1. 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.

  2. Cruise passengers on a Casablanca call

    Port pickup, a focused visit to the mosque and esplanade, and a guaranteed return before your sailing time.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Practical details

Where we pick up
Any Casablanca hotel, the cruise port, or by arrangement for layover guests from Mohammed V Airport (about 35 minutes away).
Dress for the mosque
Shoulders and knees covered, and socks — shoes come off inside the prayer hall. Photography is allowed.
Timing & visiting hours
Mornings work best. The guided interior visit runs about an hour; we plan around the next guided-tour slot, as hours move around daily prayers and Friday worship.
Booking & changes
We confirm the itinerary and a transparent price in writing first; tell us if you'd like to add the medina or a Corniche stop.

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 time your visit to those slots, your guide buys the tickets on arrival, and you walk the prayer hall, the cedar roof and the basement hammam with a 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?
Your guide buys the tickets at the mosque on arrival; the mosque's own website (fmh2.ma) lists no online ticket sales. 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 times are the guided visits?
The Hassan II Foundation's website (fmh2.ma, checked 3 November 2026) lists these visit times. From 16 September to 14 March: Saturday to Thursday at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 14:00, and on Friday at 9:00, 10:00 and 14:00. From 15 March to 15 September there is also a 15:00 visit. Ramadan has its own timetable. Times can change around prayers and official events, so we confirm the slot for your date when you book.
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.
