About Mohammédia First Range Rear Lighthouse
This square tower, standing 8 meters tall, is painted white and rises from a single-story building. Its focal plane reaches 24 meters above sea level. The structure once offered a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. Its light characteristic was a single white flash. This range rear light is located in El Mansouria, a residential area approximately 5 kilometers east of Mohammédia harbor. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This rear range light was necessary for vessels to maintain proper alignment when entering Mohammédia harbor. Its deactivation in 2022 suggests a shift towards contemporary navigation systems for the port.
