Mohammed V Mosque, Tangier, Islamic house of worship in Rue de Belgique, Tangier, Morocco.

The Mohammed V Mosque features a high minaret, multiple prayer halls, and combines traditional Moroccan design with modern architectural elements in its structure.

Completed in 1983, the mosque received funding from Kuwait, leading to the renaming of the adjacent square to Place du Koweit.

The mosque functions as a religious education center with a theological institute, regional Ulama council, and Ibn Atiyah al-Andalusi boarding school.

Non-Muslim visitors can observe the mosque exterior daily, while access to interior spaces requires permission and appropriate dress code.

The minaret stands as the tallest in Tangier, built with the specific intention to exceed the height of the neighboring Catholic Cathedral.
