Oldest lighthouse fanar very famous, very beautiful and great Architure as it still stands till now although its very old

We didnt get to the Lighthouse in time to go but from the outside, its a beautiful structure. The promenade that you walk down is wonderful and this makes it.

Oldest Lighthouse since 1860.

Its closed for public visits and it is used as a military base now. So I can not review it. However I can say that place around it is not clean, and no restrooms available. But on the other hand the sea view is spectacular. There is a nice place to walk and places to sit.

Nice place to visit and get pictures to Suez Canal enteranc in background.

Its the first concrete light house in the world 🌍 amazing and historic place

Nice building and amazing view, you must visit it in Port Saeed

It is one of the ancient monuments and was used to guide ships in the past

Very old and in a good shape

Not much to see, the place smells like garbagemaybe it was a historical place but know it more like hey check this thing, meh cool not worth going there just to see it

Old and crumbly, i cant imagine how historical places like this are that neglected

So professional, fast, accurate and so high quality service, i strongly recommend it for everyone who want accepted and certified translation to be submitted at his direction to go there with no hesitation..

Since the time of In Desert and Wilderness, I have always wanted to see this place in Egypt, among other places. Colonial buildings, and the magic of old times - the beginnings of the vision of the Suez Canal - is still here! The photos show the exit from the canal to the Mediterranean Sea, and the buildings on the other side of the canal - along it.

Port Said is known for its distinguished location...A coastal country overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and through it the Suez Canal, which connects the world together...And many ships are sold on it..Ships need a night guide..Today we will talk about the Port Said lighthouseThe old Port Said lighthouse or Port Said lighthouse is one of the most important tourist and archaeological landmarks in the city of Port Said in Egypt, as it represents a unique model for the development of the nineteenth century architecture in the city and is considered the first lighthouse built with reinforced concrete in the worldThe Port Said lighthouse, which was established in 1869, is located within the district of the Sharq neighborhood, one of the old and famous neighborhoods in Port Said. It was known in the past as the Al-Afrangi neighborhood. The lighthouse overlooks its main facade to the east on Palestine Street (formerly Sultan Hussein) and from the western side on Memphis Street (formerly Mahmoud Sedky) and from the northern side On Taif Street and from the south on Al Jabarti Street. Near the inner end of the western breakwater of the canalThis lighthouse was established according to the Egyptian facts during the era of “Khedive Ismail” in June 1869 AD, and its actual work was in February 1870 AD. A lighthouse to guide ships to the site of the new port to guide the ships that frequent the city before the opening of the canal, so De Lesseps commissioned a group of European workers to construct a temporary lighthouse near the southern limit of the western breakwater. July 1859 AD and it was lit for a distance of 25 miles, and that distance met the required purpose of its establishment in the beginning, and this lighthouse continued to fulfill the purpose until June 1869 AD.The lighthouse was built on a base near the inner end of the western breakwater of the canal, surrounded by huge stones to repel waves from all sides at the opening. The lighthouse still retains its original layout despite the additions that were made in it. It consists of an octagonal tower from the outside in the middle. It was built of reinforced concrete, it rises for a distance of (65 m), including the glass lantern, and the north and south wings of each two-storey building are integrated into the body of the tower. The stone contains rooms and offices that were used as housing for observers and administrators, and the northern wing is connected to the hull of the Fanar tower through a door or a corridor on the ground floor in the southeast side. The Fanar Tower and its northern and southern wings represent a regular rectangle, occupying an area of ​​30 m × 6 m in width, 180 m 2, in addition to the area added to the northern wing from the west, which is 16,80 × 10, 4 m in width. The original layout of the lighthouse and its accessories is characterized by symmetry and symmetry in terms of space and the distribution of doors and windows - especially its northern and southern wings.The Fanar Tower and its annexes, with its main façade to the east, overlooking Port Said port, overlook Palestine Street, Sultan Hussein previously. Where this facade retains its original elements from the construction era, it extends for a length of (30 m) from the far north to the far south of the building, and its height is (8 m) until the end of the first floor of the northern and southern wings.

It is a beautiful place to walk, so that it is called the tourist walkway. You can see from above the small boats and fishing boats inside the Suez Canal.

The Port Said lighthouse is the oldest concrete building in the world. It was built with the beginning of the digging of the Suez Canal to serve and guide ships coming from the Mediterranean to enter Port Said port, where they illuminate the way at night through a luminous light that turns in the four directions

This lighthouse was established according to the Egyptian facts in the era of Khedive Ismail in June 1869 AD, and his actual work was in February 1870 AD. A lighthouse to guide ships to the site of the new port to guide the ships that frequent the city before the opening of the canal, so De Lesseps commissioned a group of European workers to construct a temporary lighthouse near the southern limit of the western breakwater. July 1859 AD and it was lit for a distance of 25 miles, and that distance met the required purpose of its establishment in the beginning, and this lighthouse continued to fulfill the purpose until June 1869 AD.Ali Pasha Mubarak describes this event and says: “When the completion of the works of the canal approached and the boats sailing in it, he carefully considered the necessity of enlightening the Mediterranean coast between Alexandria and Port Said, with lighthouses at certain points on the coast to guide the ships that frequent the canal, so a council of Scholars of France and others, and the selection of the points took place with the knowledge of the engineers from the sailors and others, and the Khedive Ismail Pasha ordered to the Compania to make these lighthouses on the side of the Egyptian government. near the Western Moulis principle.

Very good place, but needs some attention from the authorities

A distinctive antique place in Port Said for 100 years and more illuminating the canal

The shape of the lighthouse and its heritage is beautiful, but I wished that it would be open for a visit and that there would be a tour guide explaining how important it is

The author of the book (The Exception City) says about Port Saids lighthouse ... = How is this archaeological place of great importance that has been linked to the history of the city and witnessed its glories and defeats into a mere accommodation for a group of employees, offices and bedrooms ... despite the calls by many to turn the lighthouse into a museum for the Suez Canal or the ports Or for navigation, or even for creatures and marine life..but all we fear is to no avail, so we find that the lighthouse has been demolished and removed under any claims to build upon a group of concrete cubes inhabited by the people and their wealthy. =.

It looks beautiful, but we were not allowed to enter

A wonderful antique building but it has been completely neglected and closed and you cannot visit it

The historic Port Said lighthouse is one of the oldest concrete structures in the world.

One of the famous places in Port Said, and it is considered a distinctive feature of the valiant city

A beautiful archaeological place and the first cement building that was built at this time in Port Said Governorate

The Port Said lighthouse was established in 1869 in the Sharq neighborhood or Al-Efranji, as it was called in the past, with the aim of guiding ships passing through the Suez Canal during the reign of Khedive Ismail and designing it in the form of an octagon.

The oldest concrete building in the world, worth a visit

Port Said archaeological lighthouseBuilding and architectural details are a masterpiece and preserved until now
