About Menzel Bourguiba Lighthouse
This cylindrical, white lighthouse stands on the southwestern shore of Lake Bizerte, rising directly from the port captain's office. The tower measures 20 meters in height, with its light situated 21 meters above the water. It formerly emitted a single white flash to aid navigation across the lake. The structure is located approximately 11.8 kilometers from the nearest port at Bizerte. Although the site is open to the public, the tower itself has been closed since 2011 when the light was extinguished.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was significant for guiding maritime traffic within Lake Bizerte, helping vessels navigate safely to and from the port of Menzel Bourguiba.
