Jazirat Qaruh Lighthouse

The Jazirat Qaruh Lighthouse is located on Qaruh Island, which belongs to the state of Kuwait. The island is the smallest of the nine islands and is also the furthest from the Kuwaiti mainland, situated 37.5 kilometers east of the mainland coast. The lighthouse stands on a concrete base and is a metal skeletal tower with a square pyramidal shape, featuring a balcony and lantern. The tower is marked with red and white horizontal bands.

The island where the lighthouse is situated has an interesting history, having been the first part of Kuwaiti soil to be liberated from Iraq during the Gulf War on January 21, 1991. The island is roughly 275 meters long and 175 meters at its widest, covering an area of about 3.5 hectares. The lighthouse is likely to be an important aid to navigation, given its remote location.

The current status of the Jazirat Qaruh Lighthouse is not explicitly stated, but it appears to be still standing, with pictures available online. The lighthouse and the island are significant features in Kuwait, with the island being a notable location in the country's history. The lighthouse itself is a notable landmark, with its distinctive red and white bands making it a recognizable feature of the island's landscape.
