Moroccan Arabic: قنيطرة‎, Qnīṭra; Arabic: القنيطرة‎, Al-Qunayṭira, the meaning of the word in Arabic is "the little bridge"
At the time of French occupation this city was called Port Lyautey from 1932 to 1956, it is a city in the North West part of Morocco.. it is mainly a port on Sebou river. has a population of almost half a million according to official authorities. it has a US Navy base that was used as a stopping point in North Africa at the time of the cold war between the US and the USSR.
Kenitra is ancient since it was there from the time of the Phoenicians, it has a different name back then, historians say it was called Thamusida. Under the Antonine dynasty, a Venus temple was built somewhere in Kenitra except that it can't be found anywhere now.
There was only the casbah of Mehdya before the french occupation, part of the new town was actually built by the French, it can still be spotted in the architecture of some old builtings in down town. unfortunately many of these old buildings were destroyed to make space for new ones.
The new train station is giving a more modern vibe to the city in addition of the 2 new malls, most of the city is modern but the casbah of Mehdiya is still there representing the history of Kenitra.
Other things to see: the Sebou river Corniche, the Mehdya Beach, souk of Khebazat, old churche..
Kenitra is also known by it's great restaurant and nice affordable food.. giving the students there a chance to have decent meal at reasonable price compared to nearby cities like Rabat.
