The enormous Al Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca

The Mosque De King Hassan II
Standing right at the foot of the Atlantic, with its 210 meter minaret towering over Casablanca, this behemoth of a Mosque is an amazing feat of oriental architecture. The green part on top is a sliding roof.

Here is another shot so you can get a sense of the size of the thing…
Huge!!
Hint: I am the small yellow thing in the bottom middle…
