Port Said Lighthouse, Lighthouse at entrance of Suez Canal in Port Said, Egypt
The Port Said Lighthouse reaches a height of 56 meters and features an octagonal shape constructed with reinforced concrete at the Mediterranean waterfront.
The structure was completed in 1869 by architect François Coignet, marking the inauguration of the Suez Canal and introducing the first use of reinforced concrete worldwide.
The lighthouse symbolizes Port Said's maritime legacy and stands as a testament to the engineering innovations that shaped Egypt's coastal navigation system.
The structure welcomes visitors from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with guided tours lasting approximately one to two hours through the maritime installation.
The lighthouse features a large sphere at its summit that functions as a meteorological instrument to measure wind direction and power.
