Hassan II Mosque

Toured the Hassan II mosque. It is capable of holding 25000 worshippers, with separate balcony sections for women, and ablutions in the basement. Amazingly, it was built in only six years (1987-93) by 10000 artisans and 2000 labourers at a cost north of US$2.5 billion. Overwhelming in scale and detail.

The courtyard outside can hold an additional 80000 worshippers, and apparently evening prayers during Ramadan see the facility at max capacity.
