What’s the experience like?

“You’re early,” the guard said, half-smiling as I fumbled for my phone at the Hassan II Mosque gate in Casablanca. I’d arrived too soon — classic me — but it gave me time to watch the sea mist roll over those marble steps. Our guide, Samira, waved us over and handed out our skip-the-line tickets with a little wink, like she knew how much we all hated queues. She started off in French but switched to English when she saw my face (I really need to practice).

The first thing that hit me was the coolness of the marble under my shoes and this faint scent of salt from the Atlantic just beyond the courtyard. Inside, Samira pointed up at the minaret — apparently it’s 210 meters tall, which is wild when you’re standing right underneath it. She told us about King Hassan II and how thousands worked on these mosaics by hand. There was a moment in the prayer hall where sunlight came through stained glass and painted these soft colors across everyone’s faces. I didn’t expect to feel quiet there, but I did.

I tried to pronounce “zellige” (the mosaic tiles) and Samira laughed — probably not even close. The group was small enough that we could ask anything; someone wanted to know about Friday prayers, another about the ocean view from the ablution fountains. It felt relaxed, not rushed, which I liked because sometimes tours can feel like you’re being herded around. Afterward, we could wander or just sit in the courtyard watching families take photos and kids chase pigeons. I still think about that silence inside — kind of stays with you.
