It is the biggest city in the Maghreb and one of the biggest and most significant in all of Africa, both in terms of economy and population. When visiting the Hassan II Mosque, the size of it strikes you as you stand dwarfed by one of the enormous doors and look up at the 210-meter-tall minaret, which took six years and 12,000 workers to construct (tower).
