About Port of Fujairah Lighthouse

This cylindrical white lighthouse stands 10 meters tall on a hill approximately 1.2 kilometers west of the harbor. Its light is positioned 94 meters above sea level and emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for up to 24.2 nautical miles. The structure is described as a square cylindrical white tower.
