About Jazā'ir Şila Lighthouse
Also known as: Jazā'ir Şila (Sila Islands)
Located on a reef in the northern Red Sea, Jazā'ir Şila is a concrete post with a gallery, standing on a concrete base. Its focal height reaches 15 meters, and it emits a white flash every 12 seconds, with a geographic range of 11.9 nautical miles. This aid to navigation is situated approximately 29.5 kilometers from the nearest port, Dhuba. Due to its offshore position, access to Jazā'ir Şila is solely by boat. The lighthouse serves to mark the reef upon which it stands, a hazard to vessels in the area.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of a reef in the northern Red Sea, an area that serves as a significant shipping lane.
