“Port Said Lighthouse”.. The world’s first concrete structure at the crossroads of history and navigation

In the heart of Port Said stands the ancient Port Said Lighthouse, a testament to engineering genius and navigational vision for more than 160 years. It is not just a lighthouse, but the world’s first large concrete structure and one of the most prominent heritage and historical landmarks worthy of inclusion on the global tourism map. The lighthouse continued to play a pivotal role in guiding ships passing through the Suez Canal until it ceased operations in 1997, after serving global navigation for more than a century and a half.
