I hope they have a freaking elevator to the top! Poor muezzin that does the adhan. He'll be out of breath before he even starts!

compare the minaret to the telecommunication tower in the first photo for example !!!! the telecommunication tower is supposed to be very high , I wonder why they do not just put it on top of the minaret ?!?!?!?! I do not think there is anything wrong with that after all ?!?!?!?! what do you think ?!?!?!?!

I don't know how high that tower is? Because on the photo it looks lower but that could be optical illusion? Because it is further away.

I don't know if from a religious point of view it is ok to place a communicationtower on a minaret? But esthetically it is a no no? What do you think then? And who build that masjeed? The Saudis? Having a tower on your roof, makes money!

what saudies ??? that tower is centuries old , long before the saudies discovered any oil ....besides when the saudies want to build a mosque in Morocco they use the Ottoman architecture ( the minaret is round , not like in the moroccan architecture where the minaret is squared ) I know in Fes the Saudis built a mosque in the Ottoman way with that rounded minaret , it looks like we are in cairo or Istanbul ...which is moroccan architecture is unique and to my opinion we should not allow those people build anything they want to ....

I know squared minarets are Moroccan style But the minaret of that one mosque at Ain Diab is squared too, however build by a khaleejee.

To be honest, I didn't know about that mosque in Nador. I have never ever been in Nador. And back in my schooldays in lbled, they did not teach us anything about Riaffa other than Jbel Al Tariq and Abdelkrim Al Khatabi.
