Hassan II Mosque tickets: 2026 prices and comparison

2026 official prices (Hassan II Mosque Foundation)

The Hassan II Mosque Foundation (FMH2), which manages the complex, has applied a new price grid since January 2026 that was widely discussed in the Moroccan press. The former 130 MAD foreign-visitor rate is now 140 MAD. The local-vs-foreigner differentiation remains in place, with a near-symbolic Moroccan rate to keep the monument accessible to modest-income families.

Tickets are bought directly at the north box office of the complex, on the right of the esplanade when you arrive from the Corniche boulevard. Payment in cash (MAD only) or by Visa/Mastercard. No cheques, no foreign currency. The box office opens 30 minutes before the first slot and closes 15 minutes after the last tour departs.

Official rate vs online booking: which to choose?

The 140 MAD official rate is unbeatable on paper. But it has three drawbacks:

• No booking possible. You arrive, you buy, you take the next available slot. In high season (French school holidays, July-August, May bridges), the slot may be sold out and you have to come back 2-3 hours later.
• Queue time. Summer weekends, allow 45 minutes to 1 hour to buy the ticket, then another 30 minutes for the slot itself.
• No language choice. FMH2 guides rotate slots in French, English, Arabic and Spanish. If you land on an Arabic slot and don't speak the language, you have no alternative.

Online booking via a platform like GetYourGuide (our affiliate partner) costs between 280 and 350 MAD depending on the offer. The premium covers:

• Skip-the-line: direct access to your reserved slot.
• Guaranteed English-speaking guide.
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
• PDF voucher + email reminders.

For a one-off visit of 1 to 2 people, the gap is around 280 MAD. For a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 children), it narrows to about 200 MAD because child rates are nearly identical official vs online. For a couple on a 4-hour Casablanca layover, online booking is fully justified: a missed slot = missed visit.

The 10 available skip-the-line tours

Our selection covers every profile: simple visit, premium small-group tour, city tour combo for layovers, private tour, and even a unique mosque + Moroccan Jewish Museum combo. All prices are in MAD, all include the entry ticket, and all have an average rating above 4.7 / 5 on booking platforms.

Discounts, groups, students: what to know

FMH2 offers a 50% discount on VIP private tours for constituted groups (companies, associations, school trips). This discount does not apply to individual tickets and requires a request to the Foundation at least 7 days in advance, by email or phone (numbers on fmh2.ma).

Foreign students with a valid ISIC card get the Moroccan rate (70 MAD), presented together with the ticket at the entrance. Erasmus students or university programme participants in Morocco can show their Moroccan university card for the same rate.

People with disabilities are welcomed free of charge with one companion. The complex is partly accessible to wheelchairs (esplanade, ground-floor prayer hall); the basement ablutions room is not accessible due to lack of lift.

What if your slot is full?

Three solutions, by order of simplicity:

1. Visit the esplanade for free. It is accessible 24/7. Panoramic ocean view, minaret photos, atmosphere of worshippers arriving for prayer. Allow 30 minutes.
2. Come back for the next slot. Between two visits, you can walk down to the Aïn Diab corniche (10 minutes) for coffee or lunch with an ocean view, then come back for the next slot.
3. Book online for the next day. If you stay 2 days or more in Casablanca, this is the most comfortable solution. All slots are available on GetYourGuide until the last minute.
