Rabat Mausoleum of King Mohammad V Pt 2
Mausoleum of King Mohammad
The beautiful Mausoleum of King Mohammad V is located just in front of Hassan Tower. He was born in 1909 when his father Sultan Yousef was ruler of Morocco. He is grandfather of present King Mohammad VI and father of the former king Hassan II.
Mohammad V has interesting history. He became Sultan (ruler) of Morocco in 1927 at the age of 18 years. He ruled until 1953 when the French deposed and exiled him first to Corsica (a French Island near France) and then to Madagascar. On reconciliation with the French he was rehabilitated as Sultan in 1955. In 1956 he obliged the French to give independence to Morocco after which he became King (instead of Sultan) in 1957 and ruled Morocco until 1961 when he died. He was succeeded by his son King Hassan II (1961-1999) who got this Mausoleum built. King Hassan II and his brother Prince Abdullah are also buried in this tomb. The grave of Mohammad V is in the center of the Hall and graves of King Hassan II and Prince Abdullah are in the corners of the Hall. Grave of King Hassan is distinguished from grave of Prince Abdullah by red carpet and golden chain.
A man continues to recite Holy Quran all the time in this tomb. The tomb is visited by hundreds of tourists daily.

Hassan Tower and Mohamed V Mausoleum in Rabat, Morocco
by Maria Inês Pinto | Monuments & Sites, Morocco Articles, Rabat
Guarded at all times by elaborately dressed royal guards and fez-topped security personnel, Rabat’s two most visited sites stand opposite each other along the magnificent Bou Regreg river. Hassan Tower (or Tour Hassan) and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V are two of Morocco’s most mystical places: one is an incomplete project of majestic proportions and the other stands as a masterpiece of modern Moroccan architecture, holding inside the grand tombs of past kings. Wander through the ruins of columns and enter the ornamental grandeur that is the exquisite mausoleum to discover a part of Moroccan history that will forever remain incomplete.
An Unfinished Past
It was the beginning of the 12th century when the great Sultan Yacoub al Mansour ordered the construction of the Hassan Tower and its adjoining mosque in Rabat. Having already planned the creation of the iconic Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech and planned the restoration of the ancient Udayas Kasbah, the sultan now moved on to another impressive project: the building of the world’s tallest minaret and largest mosque.
Construction thus began in 1195 with the intention of erecting a minaret that would reach 86 meters (260 feet) in height, and a mosque large enough to accommodate 20,000 worshipers. This grand project was designed to be centerpiece of the celebration of the sultan’s victory over the Spanish Christians at Alarcos but the sultan’s death in 1199 led to a dramatic halt in construction which was never picked up thereafter. What was left was a minaret standing 44 meters (145 feet) tall and about 200 columns that would have sustained the impressive projected mosque.
An earthquake in 1755 further damaged the incomplete site, tearing down some of the central columns of the mosque. Most of these, however, were restored and help to portray the intended dimensions of the original project. The imposing minaret also survived the earthquake and dominates almost every view of the magnificent city of Rabat.
A Modern Masterpiece
Just across these unfinished ruins stands the striking Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Built in the 1950s and inaugurated six years after the death of Mohammed V in 1961, the structure is considered today a masterpiece of modern Alouite dynasty architecture. Its seemingly plain exterior of white walls and typical green-tiled roof contrasts deeply with the elaborately ornamented interior. Morocco’s exquisite traditional craftsmanship is one of the main features guarded within the walls of the mausoleum, with magnificent zellij mosaics rising from marble floors to a ceiling of hand-carved cedar wood and gold leaf.
Of course, the main feature of mausoleum are the glorious tombs of King Mohammed V (the grandfather of Morocco’s current king) and his two sons. Set on the ground floor of the mausoleum, the white onyx-carved tombs are guarded by royal guards and fez-topped (that hat and not the city of Fez) security agents and can be admired from an interior balcony which surrounds them.
This magnificent site is open daily for all visitors and non-Muslims are welcome to enter the holy mausoleum and even the small mosque next door. The royal guards, who are mounted on horses and dressed in an elaborate uniform, stand at the main entrance and are also usually open to being photographed. Visitors are simply asked to dress respectfully and avoid coming between noon and 2pm, when the mausoleum closes for midday prayers in the mosque.
