About Sharm el-Sheikh Entrance East Lighthouse
A 9-meter green concrete and fiberglass tower marks the entrance to Sharm el-Sheikh's cruise ship harbor. The structure, standing on a square concrete base, is cylindrical and has an hourglass shape. Its light emits a green occulting signal, with a 5-second cycle. The focal height of the light reaches 20 meters, providing a geographic range of 13.2 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for the safe navigation of vessels entering Sharm el-Sheikh's busy harbor, preventing groundings or collisions in a high-traffic area. Its distinctive hourglass-shaped tower also serves as a unique visual landmark for mariners.
