About Sidi Boubker Lighthouse
Also known as: Sidi Boubker (Pointe d'Azemmour)
Sidi Boubker Lighthouse, built in 1921, is a 14-meter-tall cylindrical concrete tower painted white. Located approximately 1.6 kilometers inland near Azemmour, it stands about 30 kilometers northeast of Al Jadida. The structure features a lantern room and gallery, with its light projected from a focal height of 45 meters. Since its first activation in 1921, the lighthouse emits two white or red flashes every six seconds, depending on the sector. The site is accessible, but the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's alternating white and red flashes provide specific directional guidance for mariners navigating the Moroccan Atlantic coast near Azemmour, delineating safe passages and warning of potential hazards.
