Morocco Pre-trip

I traveled to Morocco with Overseas Adventure Travel in March 2015. This gallery contains a selection of photos from the optional pre-trip which included a short time in Casablanca before traveling north to Chefchaouen, Tetouan, and Tangier.

Outside King Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. The boys in the picture give some sense of the scale of largest mosque in Morocco and all of Africa. It is the 7th largers mosque in the world.d
View of the minaret from the land side. It is the world's tallest minaret. This beautiful mosque was completed in 1991. It can accommodate 25,000 worshipers inside and 80,000 more outside. It cost more than $750 million, all of it paid by public money. It took 6 years and more than 6,000 craftsmen to build.
An example of the beautiful workmanship. The woman on the cell phone helps to show the scale of the mosque.
