Best Hassan Tower Tours & Trips
This red-sandstone minaret of an incomplete mosque is Rabat’s most famous landmark. Hassan Tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world but in 1199, Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour died and construction on the mosque stopped. The tower reached 140 feet, about half of its intended height, and the rest of the mosque was also left unfinished.

I finally visited Spain and Morocco, and it was everything I'd hoped for and more! The guided visits were fantastic; the Mosque in Cordoba made my jaw drop! Each city brought something new to love. The evening dinners were highlights too, bringing everyone together. I truly enjoyed every part of this journey. If you’re thinking about booking, do it! You won’t regret it!
