About this converter
Djamaa el Djazair runs 265 m in Algiers, 55 clear of Hassan II at 210 in Casablanca. Sultan Salahuddin at 142, Putra at 116, Sheikh Zayed at 107 each and Faisal at 90 each follow. Koutoubia at 77, Qutb Minar at 73, Badshahi at 62 each and Hassan Tower at 44 standing close the table. Minaret counts differ since many mosques raise two, four or six equal towers. Heights here are per single tallest tower. Hassan Tower stopped at 44 of a planned 86 in 1199 and is kept for scale with that noted.
How to use it
Pick two minarets and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Djamaa against Qutb Minar to see the near four times gap. The bars below scale to Djamaa so Hassan Tower looks thin next to it. Switch the unit to feet for US figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the tower heights.
Sheikh Zayed at 107 ranks above Faisal at 90 despite draft table quirks. Multi tower mosques list per tower height, not summed. Qutb Minar 73 is the tallest brick minaret. Hassan Tower 44 standing of 86 planned is kept only for scale. Figures follow mosque guides and ASI specs. Minarets differ from church spires, so tallest-church-heights ranks separately.
