About Gharībah Lighthouse
This black and yellow beacon is situated in the Arabian Gulf, approximately 11.8 kilometers from Ju'aymah. It emits a white light with a single flash every 15 seconds. The structure serves as a South cardinal mark, with its black tower topped in yellow. A RACON transmitting the code B (dah-dit-dit-dit) operates on a 72-second cycle. Its focal height reaches 9 meters, providing a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The lighthouse is only accessible by boat, reinforcing its function as an operational navigational aid.
Why it matters: This light is important for vessels navigating the Arabian Gulf, especially when approaching the port of Ju'aymah. Its distinct flash pattern aids in distinguishing it from other navigational aids within a busy shipping corridor.
