About Al-Arabiyah Lighthouse
Also known as: Al-Arabiyah (Arabi Island)
A square skeletal tower, standing 22 meters tall and topped with a light at 23 meters, marks the island of Al-Arabiyah. The structure is constructed of steel and displays horizontal red and white bands. It emits a white light that flashes once every 6 seconds. This lighthouse is situated on a small island approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Jubail. The island itself was assigned to Saudi Arabia in 1968 following maritime border negotiations. Access to Al-Arabiyah is restricted, and the lighthouse is not open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the island of Al-Arabiyah, a reference point resulting from the 1968 maritime border agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
