Mausoleum of Mohammed V
Mausoleum of Mohammed V, Royal mausoleum in Rabat, Morocco.
The white marble structure features green tiles on its pyramidal roof and stands near the Hassan Tower along the Bu Regreg River.
Completed in 1971, the mausoleum contains the tombs of King Mohammed V, who led Morocco to independence, and his sons Hassan II and Prince Mulay Abdellah.
Four hundred Moroccan artisans worked for ten years to create intricate geometric patterns, Quranic calligraphy, and carved cedar wood decorations throughout the building.
Royal guards in formal white uniforms maintain a constant presence at this free-to-visit monument, which opens daily from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
An imam recites verses from the Quran continuously near the tombs while visitors observe the royal burial chamber through a viewing gallery above.
