About Mohammédia First Range Front Lighthouse
The Mohammédia First Range Front light is a white, square tower standing 6 meters tall with a focal height of 9 meters. Located about 5 kilometers east of Mohammédia harbor on the El Mansouria waterfront, it offers a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. This active light displays a white occulting light every 6 seconds. In 2022, the rear light was deactivated, and a directional light was added to this front tower. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This front range light provides precise guidance for vessels approaching Mohammédia harbor, a significant port on Morocco's Atlantic coast, ensuring safe entry into the channel.
