Rabat Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower on Boulevard Mokhtar Gazoulit, Rabat, Morocco.
The white cylindrical tower of Rabat Lighthouse extends 20 meters high with a gallery and projects light signals visible from 16 nautical miles at sea.
The construction of Rabat Lighthouse in 1919 marked a period of maritime infrastructure development following World War I along the Moroccan Atlantic coast.
The lighthouse incorporates the Borj Sirat architectural structure, reflecting both local Moroccan building traditions and early 20th-century maritime engineering principles.
Located at coordinates 34.0314721, -6.8444047, the lighthouse emits white light signals every 6 seconds to guide vessels approaching the North Atlantic Ocean.
The lighthouse functions as an active navigation aid while standing near the Royal Palace and Hassan Tower, creating a link between maritime safety and royal heritage.
