Hello @Mohamedsalah25 ,

Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos of one of the most emblematic spots in Casablanca!

I remember having an exam in History of Art about this mosque and here are few details that I remember about. A huge part of the ground on which the mosque was built is an island especially created for it in the Atlantic Ocean. The mosque has a ceiling which opens and a laser on the top of the minaret directed towards the Mecca.

Did you visit the city center of Casablanca? Are there other monuments or buildings that fascinated you?
