Rabat Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower on Boulevard Mokhtar Gazoulit, Rabat, Morocco.
Rabat Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower standing on the Atlantic coast with an open gallery near its top. The structure rises approximately 20 meters and its signal can be seen from ships far offshore.
The lighthouse was built in 1919 as part of Morocco's effort to modernize its ports after World War I. This development helped establish Rabat as an important harbor along the North African coast.
The lighthouse stands as a working part of Rabat's waterfront and shows how important the sea has been to the city. Visitors can observe how this structure connects the ocean to the urban life around it.
The tower stands right at Rabat's harbor and is easy to reach from Boulevard Mokhtar Gazoulit. Visit in the afternoon when sunlight falls nicely on the white walls and shows the structure clearly.
The lighthouse flashes white light every 6 seconds, making it easy to spot from ships at night. This steady rhythm helps sailors find Rabat's harbor even during poor weather conditions.
