Is the Hassan II Mosque Premium Tour with entry ticket worth it?
Updated October 19, 2026 · 5 min read
For most people who just want to see the inside of the mosque, yes. The Hassan II Mosque Premium Tour with entry ticket is the most reviewed offer in Casablanca: 4.5 out of 5 from 4,523 reviews, from €14.22 per person. The catch is that this price barely exceeds the ticket itself, so the real question is what sits on top of it and whether you need more than the mosque.

What the mosque charges on its own
Non-Muslims can only go inside on a guided visit; the foundation that runs the mosque sells these itself. Its website currently lists 140 MAD for a foreign adult, roughly €13 at current exchange rates, and 30 MAD for children from four years old. Under-fours go in free. Moroccan residents and foreign students pay less; the foundation’s own page has the full list.
So an offer from €14.22 includes the ticket and leaves very little for anything else. That is not a trick, it is how the “from” price works: it is the lowest price for the cheapest date and group, and the booking page shows what your date actually costs. What you get for the small difference is a booked place and a guide; what the price alone does not buy is a long programme.
45 minutes or four hours?
The listing gives the duration as “45 minutes – 4 hours”. That range tells you the offer covers more than one way of doing it. The guided visit inside the mosque lasts about 40 to 45 minutes according to the foundation; anything beyond that is time before or after, and the booking page for your date shows which version you are actually buying. Ask before you plan the rest of the day around it.
The foundation currently shows guided slots at 8:00 am, 9:00 am, 10:00 am, 11:00 am and 2:00 pm from Saturday to Thursday, and at 8:00 am, 9:00 am, 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on Friday. It is a working mosque, so slots can change around prayers and events. If you are on a tight day, the afternoon slot is the one that clashes with other plans, and Friday has one slot fewer.
What to wear and what not to bring
The foundation’s rule is clear: shoulders, chest and knees covered, and shorts and sleeveless tops are not allowed. You take your shoes off at the entrance and carry them in the bag you are given. Video cameras, radios and audio devices are not allowed inside, and there is no eating, drinking or smoking during the visit. Ask your guide where photographs are fine.
Five ways to see the mosque
| Offer | Duration | From | Rating | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hassan II Mosque Premium Tour with entry ticket | 45 minutes – 4 hours | €14.22 | 4.5 (4,523 reviews) | the mosque and nothing else |
| City tour with Hassan II Mosque entry ticket | 4.5 hours | €36 | 4.7 (1,551 reviews) | half a day, small group |
| Hassan II Mosque and city highlights tour | 4.5 hours | €17.50 | 4.4 (597 reviews) | the cheapest way to combine city and mosque |
| Private guided tour with Hassan II Mosque ticket | 4 – 5 hours | €36 | 4.7 (452 reviews) | your own pace, medina and cathedral included |
| City night tour with traditional Moroccan dinner | 4 hours | €59 | 4.5 (373 reviews) | the mosque lit up, seen from outside only |
The gap between the two 4.5-hour offers, €17.50 and €36, is the thing to check. The description of the cheaper one speaks of skip-the-line access, while the dearer one names the entry ticket and a small group. Read both booking pages before you assume they include the same things.
Which one I would book
If the mosque is the only thing on your list, take the Premium Tour: it is the cheapest, it has by far the most reviews, and it does not tie up your day. If you have a half day and want the mosque as part of a first look at the city, the city tour with the entry ticket has the better rating at 4.7, and the small group is the reason to pay for it. The night tour is a different thing altogether: it does not take you inside, so it is not a substitute.
When it is not worth it
Skip the booking if you will not cover up. If all you want is a photo of the building, you do not need a ticket at all: it stands on the waterfront and is visible from outside.
All offers for the mosque are collected on our Hassan II Mosque tours page, and the ones that combine it with the rest of the city are on the Casablanca city tours page.
