Kenitra, Port city in Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region, Morocco.
Located along the Sebou River, Kenitra extends across the northwestern region of Morocco with sandy beaches near the Atlantic Ocean.
Established as Port Lyautey in 1912 under French rule, the city developed from a military fort into a key maritime trading center.
