Hassan II Mosque Casablanca: Dress Code, Guided Tour Tickets & Visiting RulesSafety & Practicalities

What is the dress code for Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, and how do you book tickets to enter?

Perched dramatically over the roaring Atlantic Ocean waves, the Grand Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is one of the largest mosques in the world and one of only two active mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors. Because it is an active sacred sanctuary, entry is strictly regulated by guided tour schedules and enforced religious modesty standards.

Published October 17, 2026

Strict dress code: requirements for men and women

Unlike standard tourist attractions, modesty guidelines at Hassan II Mosque are strictly inspected at the security checkpoint before you can buy a ticket or join a tour group.

Women must have their shoulders, chest, and knees fully covered. Long maxi skirts, loose trousers, or modest dresses reaching below the calves are required; sleeveless tops, sheer fabrics, shorts, and deep necklines are prohibited. While a headscarf (hijab) is not legally mandated for non-Muslim women in the prayer hall, carrying a light scarf to cover your hair is respectful.

Men must wear shirts with sleeves (t-shirts are acceptable, but tank tops are forbidden) and long trousers covering the knees. Shorts and gym wear are strictly turned away at the entrance gate.

Footwear and the shoe bag system

Before stepping onto the hand-carved cedar wood and heated marble prayer floors, all visitors must remove their footwear. Footwear lockers and complimentary branded fabric shoe bags are distributed at the entrance.

You will carry your shoes in the provided bag throughout the 45-minute tour. Wearing clean socks is recommended, as the vast marble prayer hall floors can feel cool underfoot during winter months.

Guided tour timings and prayer schedules

Non-Muslims can only enter the mosque interior via an official guided tour conducted in English, French, Spanish, German, or Italian.

Tours run Saturday through Thursday at fixed hours (typically 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 3:00 PM; Friday schedules are abbreviated due to Jumu'ah Friday prayer). The mosque interior closes completely to tourists during daily Muslim prayer calls (Adhan). Arrive 30 minutes before your preferred time slot to purchase tickets and clear security.

Interior photography and oceanfront grounds

Non-commercial photography and mobile phone videography are permitted inside the main prayer hall, the ablution halls (wudu fountains), and the vast public esplanade overlooking the Atlantic breakers. Flash photography, selfie sticks, and tripods are strictly prohibited.

Maintain quiet decorum while inside the sanctuary. Do not sit on the roped-off central prayer carpets reserved for worshipers, and speak in low whispers throughout the guided tour.

Frequently asked questions

Can non-Muslims visit Hassan II Mosque without a guided tour?

No, non-Muslim visitors are legally only permitted inside the prayer hall and ablution rooms as part of an official scheduled guided tour accompanied by mosque docents.

How much are tickets for Hassan II Mosque?

Standard adult admission for international visitors is roughly 130 MAD (approx. $13 USD), with discounts available for international students holding valid ID cards.

Is the mosque wheelchair accessible?

Yes, Hassan II Mosque is equipped with access ramps and elevators connecting the ocean esplanade, the prayer hall, and the lower ablution facilities.
