On Day 3, we spent our day in Casablanca. Our first stop of the day was to the Port
of Casablanca. We spent the morning learning more about the logistics of the port
with a presentation and a Q&A session with key members of the port staff. Then, we
ended our visit with a facility tour to check out some of the daily activities happening
on site.
Our last stop of the day was a tour of the Hassan II Mosque, the 2nd largest mosque
in Africa! We learned about the legacy of King Mohammed V, the design & construction
of the mosque, and teachings of Islamic faith. One highlight learned is that it took
only 6 years to build this grand mosque (from start to finish) and Hassan II Mosque
can accommodate up to 100,000+ worshippers for prayer!
