The islands have a lighthouse and they are about 100 metres (330 ft) from the mainland offering good anchorage. It is near the Mediterranean port of Tanger-Med within the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region of northern Morocco.
Perejil Island, a disputed territory between Morocco and Spain, is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) East.
