About Afrikanische Leuchttürme auf historischen Postkarten Lighthouse
This square pyramidal iron skeletal tower stands 30 meters tall on a concrete pier, located on a reef about 30 km east of the fishing port of Muhammad Qol in Sudan's Red Sea State. Its white light flashes once every 18 seconds. The structure warns ships away from the extensive reefs off Ra's Abu Shagrab. Access to the site is permitted, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. The nearest port, Port Sudan, is 13.3 km away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding maritime traffic away from the hazardous reefs extending from Ra's Abu Shagrab, a significant navigational concern in this region of the Red Sea.
