Beautiful Mosque Allahamdullah

MashaAllah, quite big masjid just beside the Habbous market.
One of the most beautiful mosque in Casablanca. Near to Royal Palaca and market. Nice view inside and outside.
Mosque looks nice in the Habous region with parcs around, markets, ...
Interesting, has the feel of another time, especially during afternoon prayers.
