On the way to an appointment, Redouane Belhaimeur uses his lunch break to visit the Hassan II Mosque. The city’s largest mosque boasts the world’s tallest minaret, soaring 210 meters high. “For me, prayers are an important part of the day, a kind of short meditation”, says Belhaimeur.
In the Arab world, it is normal to break off meetings for a short while to pray. “This can be very practical”, notes the marketing specialist, who has already completed the pilgrimage to Mecca twice: “I often come up with surprising solutions and good ideas after these breaks.”
