Mehdia Kasbah Mehdia Kasbah, also known as Kasbah Moulay Ismaïl, stands 70 meters above sea level, overlooking the mouth of the Sebou River. It bears witness to the various presences, influences, and dynasties that have dominated the city over the centuries, including the Spanish, Portuguese, Moroccan sultans, and the French. Dating back to the 17th century, it was under Moulay Ismaïl's rule that the governor's palace, the caïd's house, and the mosque were built inside the Spanish fortifications erected in 1615 to control pirates. Mehdia is the historic city near which the new city of Kénitra developed in the early 20th century during the Protectorate period.

Thamusida Archaeological Site This archaeological site is far from revealing all of its secrets. Located on the left bank of the Sebou River, about ten kilometers north of Kénitra, only partial excavations have been carried out. Nevertheless, they have unveiled that the site was initially occupied by the Phoenicians before coming under the rule of the Byzantines, then the Carthaginians, and ultimately being conquered by the Roman Empire. Many material remains such as temples, baths, and chapels have already been unearthed. One of the significant influences appears to be the dominance of the Mauretanians, who are believed to have founded Thamusida in the late 3rd century BC. Thamusida stands out as one of the most important ancient cities in Morocco.
