Hassan II Mosque Casablanca: Visit and Tickets
The Hassan II Mosque is one of the very few religious sites in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors, and only as part of a guided tour. Built partly over the Atlantic Ocean, with one of the tallest minarets in the world (around 210 metres), it's Casablanca's most iconic landmark. Here's how to choose your tour and what to know before you go.
A guided tour of the Hassan II Mosque costs between €14 and €32 per person depending on the option, and lasts from 45 minutes to a full day if combined with a day trip from Marrakech. The cheapest ticket (€14) is a self-paced premium visit with entry included, while the €32 options add a guided city tour of Casablanca or a private visit. It's one of the only mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims, a deliberate exception built into the design when it was completed in 1993. Modest dress is required (shoulders and knees covered), and shoes come off before entering the prayer hall. Tours never run during the five daily prayers, so schedules shift with the season — check your exact time slot when booking.
Visiting from Casablanca or a day trip from Marrakech?
Two ways to visit the Hassan II Mosque depending on where you're based:
- From Casablanca: a visit of a few hours, alone or combined with a city tour, ideal if you're already staying there or passing through.
- From Marrakech: a full-day excursion with round-trip transport included, for travelers not planning a night in Casablanca but who still want to see the monument.

Why does this mosque allow non-Muslim visitors?
The vast majority of mosques in Morocco are closed to non-Muslim visitors. The Hassan II Mosque is the exception: from its construction, completed in 1993, it was designed to be open to non-Muslim visitors through supervised guided tours, unlike almost every other place of worship in the country. It's one of the rare chances for a non-Muslim visitor to see inside a major Moroccan mosque.
