Sidi Bou Afi Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in El Jadida, Morocco.

The cylindrical white tower of Sidi Bou Afi Lighthouse reaches 45 meters in height with a black lantern and gallery at its summit.

The construction of Sidi Bou Afi Lighthouse began in 1914 and concluded in 1916, marking a significant advancement in maritime safety along the Atlantic coast.

The lighthouse name derives from a nearby marabout, reflecting the integration of maritime infrastructure with local religious landmarks in Moroccan coastal communities.

The lighthouse emits three white flashes every five seconds, guiding vessels with a luminous range extending 30 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean.

Located 200 meters from the shoreline at the highest point of El Jadida, the lighthouse serves both as a navigational aid and geographical reference point.
