The green-domed Grande Mosquée with its 67-metre minaret rises above the Medina, inaugurated in 1964 by Senegal's first president, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Morocco's King Hassan II. The Friday afternoon call to prayer is extraordinary. Non-Muslims are generally welcomed outside prayer times; dress modestly.
