Yarkon River Mouth Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Yarkon River estuary in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The concrete square tower rises 17 meters above the Mediterranean coast, featuring remnants of its original black and white checkerboard paint pattern.

British authorities constructed Reading Light between 1934 and 1935 to guide ships past dangerous sandbars near the Tel Aviv shoreline.

The lighthouse stands as a testament to Tel Aviv's maritime development, marking the period when the city established its port during the 1936 Arab revolt.

A wooden boardwalk installed in 2007 by the Israeli Antiquities Authority surrounds the lighthouse site, making it accessible to visitors.

The excavation beneath the lighthouse revealed two Assyrian fortresses from the 8th century BCE during its construction phase.
