Lighthouses are mainly used to warn ships
from treacherous shores and to mark safe entries to harbours. The most famous lighthouse
is the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was built between 280 and 247 BC on the island of Pharos in Hellenistic Egypt.

them from neglect. Many historic lighthouses are now used for commercial
and are maintained as tourist attractions.
Today, lighthouses are often popular travel destinations. If you are ready to

popular tourist resorts where you can enjoy all the benefits of modern civilization. But wherever the lighthouse is, you can be sure of having a great view!
