Jeddah Light, Active lighthouse in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Jeddah Light is a lighthouse standing at the entrance to Jeddah Port, featuring a white cylindrical shaft that rises cleanly into the sky. At its peak sits a spherical observation structure with a balcony, offering views across the harbor and surrounding waters.
The structure was built in 1990 as a modern lighthouse facility for the port area. Its construction was tied to infrastructure expansion at Jeddah Port along the Red Sea.
The lighthouse serves as a familiar landmark for ships entering the harbor and shapes the waterfront for locals and visitors alike. It connects the modern city to its role as a vital sea gateway on the Red Sea.
The observation area at the top provides wide views across the harbor and coastline, making it good for photos and orientation. The ascent involves interior stairs, so comfortable footwear and basic fitness help with the climb.
This structure holds the record as the world's tallest lighthouse, making it a notable technical achievement. The light beam can be seen approximately 46 kilometers away, demonstrating the reach of its modern design.
