King Hassan Mosque Casablanca Morocco [00:56]
King Hassan Mosque in Casablanca Morocco. The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca was completed in 1993 after great expense and artistic labor, and the result is that it is the 3rd largest mosque in the world. Its gleaming newness and tremendous wealth is a stark contrast against the rest of Casablanca. It's a vast building that can hold 25000 worshippers and accommodate a further 80000 in the courtyards and squares around it. The mosque was designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau and is topped by a soaring 210m-tall minaret, which shines a laser beam towards Mecca by night. In addition to this high-tech call to prayer, the mosque also has a centrally heated floor, electric doors, a retractable roof and a section of glass flooring allowing the faithful to see the Atlantic washing the rocks below.

Ian spends a day exploring the Medina and winding back-alleys, before heading for the hammam, where he experiences a violent Moroccan massage. Ian continues his journey to the village of Tamtachoute in the High Altas Mountains, where he's invited to stay the night with a local family - to a Moroccan a guest is a gift from Allah, and he's made to feel very welcome. Next day he witnesses Aid El Kabir, one of the Islamic world's oldest and most important religious festivals celebrating the time when Abraham was asked by God to slaughter his son, Isaac.
