About Jazīrat Safājah Lighthouse
Also known as: Jazīrat Safājah (Safaga Island)
The Jazīrat Safājah lighthouse is a 6-meter tall concrete tower with a focal height of 9 meters. It features a cylindrical, hourglass-shaped structure mounted on a square base and is painted black with a single yellow horizontal band. This light was visible for 6 nautical miles. It was located on an isolated hill near the northeastern tip of Safājah Island, approximately 2.7 kilometers from the nearest port. The lighthouse has been inactive since 2019.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was essential for guiding ships safely into the port of Safājah and helped mariners navigate the sheltered waters near the island's northeastern tip.
