Prayer Times in Casablanca, Morocco

Praying in Casablanca

Casablanca — Casa to everyone — is Morocco's economic capital, a bustling Atlantic metropolis of nearly 4 million people where Art Deco boulevards meet sprawling markets. The city that Humphrey Bogart made famous is today the kingdom's business engine: the Hassan II Mosque rises over the ocean at its edge, the Morocco Mall draws Gulf tourists, and the old medina still trades much as it has for centuries.

The Hassan II Mosque is one of the largest mosques on earth — its 210-metre minaret is the world's tallest, the prayer hall holds 25,000 worshippers, and the building extends over the Atlantic itself, with a glass floor revealing the waves below. At 33.6°N on the Atlantic coast, Casablanca's seasons are gentle: summer Fajr near 4:20 AM with Maghrib past 8:30 PM, winter Fajr around 6:35 AM with Maghrib near 6:10 PM. The sea breeze shapes prayer life — evening prayers at the mosque's oceanfront esplanade are a daily spectacle as the sun sets into the Atlantic. During Ramadan, Casa's food scene explodes after Taraweeh: harira soup, chebakia pastries and msemen fill the night markets until sahur.
