We visited the 3rd largest Mosque in the world at the beginning and end of our 21 day trip to Morocco. Pictures cannot do it justice - it is enormous. It can hold roughly 25,000 prayers inside and 80,000 outside on the grounds. We were lucky enough to tour the inside. It was dark and the carpet was super soft on my bare feet. While living in Saudi I was never able to enter as mosque let alone photograph one so this was a real treat. Ok, this wasn't actually my first mosque, we toured the interior of the Alabaster Mosque in Egypt back in 2011. Quite a difference between the old and the new. In the Hassan II Mosque we were also able to see the sub levels where the baths are located for washing prior to prayer.
