The mosque was completed in 1993 and its minaret, two hundred and ten metres, is among the tallest in the world. Part of the building stands over the water, on a platform reclaimed from the Atlantic: the king cited the verse that God's throne was upon the water.
The prayer hall holds twenty-five thousand worshippers and its roof opens in a few minutes, leaving the sky above the rows. A glass floor in part of the hall shows the ocean below. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims, on a guided visit.
