Casablanca

These are government worker apartments for which they pay very little. It seems no matter the cost of the house, there is a dish on top! The king of Morocco at the time, Hassan 2, first mentioned this mosque in 1980, declaring that he would build it on the water, because the throne of God is on the water. The mosque was inaugurated on August 30, 1993. It was designed by the French architect, Michel Pinseau, and has the tallest minaret in the world, with its 200 metres. There is room for 20,000 worshippers inside the mosque at the same time, and the courtyard gives space for another 80,000. While visiting the mosque we heard the noon call to prayer. Lots of construction in Morocco. The new king is updating the country. Doorman for the Sheraton hotel. Room entrance. Very comfortable bed Everything one needs, TV and computer port. I went to business center where I could use the internet free. View out my window. Smog was heavy. Beyond the buildings is the ocean. The lobby had these wonderful birds scattered around.
