Morocco trip 💖 Heart rate: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The first time I set foot in Morocco, I was completely attracted by this mysterious land. From Casablanca to Marrakech, every stop seems to be walking into a different story. 🕌Casablanca: The filming location of the movie "Casablanca", the Hassan II Mosque here is shocking. 🕌 Rabat: The capital of Morocco, with a strong cultural atmosphere and historical sites. 🕌 Fes: A thousand-year-old city, walking in the ancient streets feels like traveling through time and space. 🕌 Essaouira: The seaside scenery here is unforgettable, and the sunset is even more picturesque. 🕌 Sahara Desert: Starry sky, vast sand dunes, experience a Sanmao-style romance. 🕌 Ifrane and Chefchaouen: These two towns are as beautiful as fairy tales, and their blue and white buildings are enchanting. The most satisfying part of this trip was experiencing the local customs. From tasting street food to interacting with locals, I gained a deeper understanding of Morocco. And the prices here are relatively low and the price/performance ratio is super high! Small TIPS: It is recommended to book hotels and tickets in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble! I will come again next time, Morocco, wait for me!

📍Located in Casablanca, a city on the Atlantic coast in western Morocco, it is a famous historical city in Morocco. It is the country's largest port city, transportation hub and commercial and financial center. Known as the "Lungs of Morocco", it is also a famous tourist city in North Africa. ⭐️Recommend three more famous attractions: 📸 Hassan II Mosque The mosque was built in 1987 and completed in 1993, costing more than US$500 million and covering an area of ​​9 hectares. What's special is that one-third of the area is built on the sea to commemorate the origin of Morocco's Arab ancestors from the sea. The size of the mosque can accommodate 100,000 people praying at the same time It is one of the third largest mosques in the world🕌️ 📸Rick’s cafe In 1942, a movie "The Spies of North Africa" ​​was released, with Casablanca as the location of the story. This movie later made the city of Casablanca famous around the world. In 2004, some capitalists opened Rick’s cafe in Casablanca, which became one of the most famous local attractions. The reason is that the scene of the movie was recreated, but it was not the actual filming location. 📸Casablanca Cathedral This church was built in 1930. Its architectural style combines classical aesthetics with modernity. The church is surrounded by a large public garden. ⚠️Personal recommendation: If you have time after getting off the plane, you can stay in Casablanca for a while, wander around, take photos and check in, but there is really no need to stay for one night. I would rather go directly to the bustling Marrakech and stay in a cheap but luxurious hotel. ⚠️For those who are leaving the country on a late flight, it is enough to finish shopping half a day before departure. #Africa #morocco #casablanca #hassanIImosque #casablancacathedral # clock in

Hassan II Mosque is the third largest mosque in the world, after the mosques in Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. It is also the most modern mosque in the world.

Country: Morocco Currency: Moroccan Dirham City: Casablanca Hassan II Mosque Hassan II Mosque is a well-known mosque known for its high level of modernity and is a rare foreign to Morocco Open mosque. The mosa is divided into two parts, the main hall and the open-air plaza. The whole area covers an area of nine hectares. The white marble walls are finely carved, and the jade pillars inside and outside the hall are imposing. One-third of its area is built on the sea to commemorate the Moroccan Arab ancestors from the sea. The entire mosque can accommodate 100,000 people at the same time. The top of the temple can be opened and closed. The sense of science and technology is very strong. The twenty-five east gates are all made of titanium alloy. It is the third largest mosque in the world, behind the Mecca and Medina mosques in Saudi Arabia. The mosa was built in six years and cost more than 500 million. Visit: You need to take off your shoes and provide a shoe bag for about 40-50 minutes.

About some tips at the airport in Casablanca tip: 1. Arrive at Casablan Mohammed V Airport at 2 pm and feel the Africa when you get off the plane. The hot temperature, the smooth exit after the plane, even the immigration card does not need to fill out. After getting the baggage, the first thing to change money, because the airport exchange rate is not very good, it is recommended that you put a little enough to take a taxi back to the hotel, there are many places in the city have change. 2. The plane has a place to directly handle the calling card. It is strongly recommended that you do a calling card. I used to rent mobile Wi-Fi online. It is really useless. I basically use my own traffic and pay the phone bill. 3. Take a taxi to the city center for around 300 dirhams and bargain with the driver. Always pay attention to the price before getting on the bus! ! They will never punch cards for tourists, and they have to ask a few people? Does it include luggage? A little tip of the accommodation: Melliber Appart Hotel 500 RMB/day/standard room / At the time of the time, it was fancy The location of this hotel is not too good! ! In fact, Casablan is mainly looking at the Hassan II Maritime Mosque. It is a five-minute walk to the mosque. It is very convenient to turn a corner! ! The apartment can also be cooked and it is clean. When leaving, the clerk also helped us to stop the taxi on the road, and also helped us bargain, haha, in short, the experience is good. For your reference. Hassan II Sea Mosque's tips: Evening mosque is really beautiful in the soft light of the setting sun! ! Even during the Golden Week, there are not many tourists. Tickets are bought two hundred meters from the mosque. Hassan is the most modern mosque in the world. The marble floor in the main hall is heated all the year round. The roof in the summer can be automatically opened for heat dissipation. There is a lift in the temple to reach the top of the Xuanli tower. It is luxurious. One third of the temple is built on the sea. The only temple in Morocco that is open to foreign tourists, you need to take off your shoes when you enter the temple, you need to buy tickets inside the tour, and sell at 10 o'clock in the morning. Visit time: winter Saturday to Thursday 09

The Hassan II Mosque is located in the northwestern part of the city of Casablanca in the Kingdom of Morocco, at the western end of the Islamic world. The construction of the mosque has a direct relationship with the late King Hassan II. Construction started in August 1987, costing more than 500 million US dollars and covering an area of 9 hectares. One-third of the area is built on the sea to commemorate the Moroccan Arab ancestors from the sea. The entire mosque can accommodate 100,000 people at the same time. It is the third largest mosque in the world, behind the Mecca and Medina mosques in Saudi Arabia.

Casablanca The Hassan II Mosque is the third largest mosque in the Islamic world and the most modern mosque in the world. It was built to commemorate the 60th birthday of the former king and is the only mosque open to foreigners in Morocco. The large buildings are built on the sea, towering square towers, majestic palaces, arched round doors, connected corridors, open squares, and Arabic motifs in beige and green. All show the grandeur of Islam. Standing on the square, you can see the sea, and you can sit on the seawall and get close to the roaring Atlantic Ocean to experience the thrill of the surfers. Inadvertently looking, the beach is full of a couple, in the shadow of the morning sun, it is particularly beautiful. In this conservative country, love and religion can also be so interesting. The various carvings and green Marseille patterns in the interior are exquisite and can be described as exquisite. Since idolatry is forbidden, there are no portraits inside and outside the mosque. Because of this, its carvings and mosaic patterns are also beautiful because of their speciality. I have always liked this flamboyant color and pattern, which is one of the places where Islamic civilization attracts me.

I first gave everyone the basic popularity of the Hassan II Mosque. It was built in 1987. At that time, it cost more than 500 million US dollars. For Morocco at that time, it was poured out. The funds were mainly donated by people at home and abroad because of high morality. The beloved king had a dream, saying that Allah gave him the truth: God's throne should be built on the water, so the fundraising began to be established. The mosque can accommodate 100,000 people to pray. It is the third-largest mosque in the world, in Saudi Arabia. After the Arab Mecca and the Medina mosque. The Hassan II mosque opens its doors to Muslims all over the world. However, non-Muslims only have VIPs and special permission to enter the main hall. Muslims from all countries can enter at any time. Before entering the main hall, the guards will ask if they are Muslims. You can't get in without the Quran. The uniqueness of the Hassan II mosque is that one-third of its area is built on the sea to commemorate the Moroccan Arab ancestors from the sea.

Visiting the Hassan II Mosque was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my trip to Casablanca. This architectural masterpiece stands proudly on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, blending tradition and modernity in the most majestic way. The first thing that takes your breath away is the sheer size of the mosque. With the tallest minaret in the world (210 metres), the building dominates the Casablanca skyline. The intricate Moroccan craftsmanship is visible in every corner—mosaic tiles, carved marble, and wooden details all harmoniously come together to form a stunning visual experience. One of the most impressive features is that part of the mosque is built directly over the ocean, symbolising God’s throne on the water. The sound of the waves beneath adds to the peaceful and spiritual ambiance, especially during quiet moments of reflection. The mosque is also a symbol of technological innovation. It features a retractable roof, heated floors, and even earthquake resistance—all cleverly integrated into its traditional aesthetic. Non-Muslims are welcome to join guided tours, which I highly recommend. The tour was informative, respectful, and provided great insight into Moroccan culture, Islamic architecture, and the mosque’s history. #casablanca #hassaniimosque

#postandearn Here’s a sample post you can use for the Trip.com event, based on your visit to the Hassan II Mosque: ⸻#casablanca #mosquevisit #morocco🇲🇦 During my recent trip to Casablanca, Morocco, one highlight stood above the rest: the Hassan II Mosque. It’s not just one of the largest mosques in the world, but also one of the most breathtaking landmarks I’ve ever visited. Built partly over the Atlantic Ocean, the mosque gives you a surreal view where architecture meets nature. The intricate marble work, hand-carved ceilings, and towering minaret (the tallest in the world!) left me in awe. I arrived just before sunset, and the reflection of the golden hour on the mosque’s surface made the entire experience magical. Travel Tips: • Go early or late afternoon to avoid the crowds and capture the best lighting for photos. • Wear modest clothing, as it’s a religious site. • Join the guided tour – it’s worth it to learn about the mosque’s history and symbolism. • If you’re visiting on a Friday, note prayer times as non-Muslims may have restricted access. Though it’s not a restaurant stop, I grabbed a small street snack nearby – a fresh mint tea and a local pastry, which made the moment even more memorable. The Hassan II Mosque isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience of spiritual and architectural wonder.

Where the Atlantic kisses Casablanca, the Hassan II Mosque rises like a celestial beacon. Its 210-meter minaret, the tallest in Africa, pierces the sky, crowned with a laser pointing toward Mecca . Crafted by 10,000 artisans, its marble walls and intricate mosaics whisper Morocco’s soul. A retractable roof unveils the heavens, while waves cradle its foundation, fulfilling a Qur’anic verse: _“God’s throne was upon the water”. Inside, 105,000 worshippers find solace beneath chandeliers from Venice, their prayers echoing through time. Step into this masterpiece, where faith, artistry, and ocean breeze intertwine in a dance of eternity. Will you answer its call?

📍Dubbed as the "White City' of Morocco, Casablanca has grown to become one of Africa's largest cities, serving as Morocco's economic and business centre, and its port is the largest in the north of the continent. The Hassan II Mosque is the largest mosque in Africa and the fifth largest in the world. The mosque is built predominantly over the Atlantic Ocean with the seabed visible from the glass floor in the great wall - this being one of the many tourist hotspots in Morocco.

—*"Here, getting lost is more fun than using GPS"* --- ### **📌 Must-Visit Spots & Unique Experiences** 1. **Marrakech** - **Jemaa el-Fnaa Square**: The wildest "night market" on earth—snake charmers, fortune tellers, juice stalls—it’s like stepping into *One Thousand and One Nights*. Pro tip: Orange juice vendors might flirt with you in 8 languages. - **Jardin Majorelle**: YSL’s private blue paradise. Wear white for photos, or you’ll blend into the backdrop. - **Stay**: Book a *riad* (traditional courtyard guesthouse) for ~200–300 MAD/night, preferably with a rooftop terrace for stargazing and listening to mosque prayers. 2. **Sahara Desert (Merzouga)** - **Camel Ride**: Camels look more indifferent than your boss in meetings, but sunset over the dunes will leave you speechless (or just muttering "wow"). - **Desert Camping**: Sleep in Berber tents, drum around a bonfire, feast on tagine, and gaze at the Milky Way. 3. **Fez** - **Chouara Tannery**: A visual "giant palette" and an olfactory "biohazard zone"—vendors will hand you mint leaves to stuff up your nose. - **Navigation Warning**: Google Maps is useless here. Local kids will offer guidance (bargain hard—5 MAD max). 4. **Chefchaouen** - **The Blue City**: Looks dunked in paint. No filter needed. Cats outnumber humans and reign as the true landlords. 5. **Casablanca** - **Hassan II Mosque**: The only mosque built over the ocean. Pricey ticket, but the interior rivals Aladdin’s palace. - **Rick’s Café**: A *Casablanca* fan pilgrimage—though the movie was never filmed here (play along anyway). --- ### **🍴 Foodie Guide: Moroccans Survive on Tagine** - **Tagine**: Lamb, chicken, or veggies + mystery spices, slow-cooked to perfection. - **Couscous**: Friday special! Morocco’s "family bucket meal." - **Mint Tea**: Sweet enough to rot teeth, but locals say "no sugar = rude." - **Street Eats**: Try snail soup (yes, really) or 1-MAD fried doughnuts (*sfenj*). --- ### **💡 Pro Tips** 1. **Bargaining**: Divide prices by 3, smile, and watch vendors clutch their hearts. 2. **Transport**: CTM buses are reliable; trains are slow but cheap. Insist on taxi meters—drivers love the "broken meter" act. 3. **Etiquette**: Left hand = "toilet hand." Avoid using it for eating/handshakes unless you want dirty looks. --- ### **🛏️ Budget Stays** - **Hostels/Riads**: Try *Riad Dia* (Marrakech) or *Funky Fes* (Fez), ~100–150 MAD/night. - **Desert Tours**: Bargain for 3-day/2-night packages (~800 MAD) including camel rides and tents. --- ### **🎁 Souvenirs** - **Argan Oil**: Morocco’s "cure-all"—for skin, hair, and (jokingly) toast. - **Babouches**: Handmade slippers in traffic-cone neon. - **Spices**: Unless you enjoy airport "random checks." --- ### **Final Advice** Morocco’s energy ≈ rush-hour subway chaos, but its magic makes exhaustion worth it. Pack stomach meds (trust us), and—**respect the feline overlords**! 🚗 **Go forth—may mint tea and dunes bless your journey!**
