📍📍Mohammedia📍📍 👉Mohammedia, formerly Fedala, port city, northwestern Morocco. It lies along the Atlantic Ocean 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Casablanca. The harbour, at what is now Mohammedia, was frequented in the 14th and 15th centuries by merchant ships from Europe seeking cereals and dried fruits. 💯In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was intermittently an official grain-export entrepôt for Christian merchants. 👇The modern port facilities were initially developed by French businessmen after 1913. Imported crude oil is refined at Morocco’s largest refinery directly southwest of the city, and Mohammedia also has many fish canneries and a factory that produces chlorine and sodium carbonate. Pop. (2004) 188,619. 👉Fedala was renamed Mohammedia on 25 June 1960 in honour of King Mohammed V, the restorer of Moroccan independence, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of the Samir oil refinery. 😍The new name indicates the modern character of this city. 👉Today, the city serves as both a seaside resort and a manufacturing centre. 👉Mohammedia is also a resort city containing a golf and tennis club, casino and many other activities. 💯In addition, people call it madinate lwouroude wa riyada which means "city of flowers and sports". There is a wide range of outdoor activities including basketball, soccer, surfing, and fishing. The nightlife is a great experience to be part of, including several cafes, restaurants, clubs, and a boardwalk. 👉Follow us and tag yourself if you are interested in sharing your most perfect pictures of our beautiful country 👍 @moroccofriendlytravel Credit:®@hafiidii.omaar @sahara6879@EncyclopaediaBritannica #morocco#mohmmedia#trip#travelblogger#adventure#traveling#vacation#picoftheday#travelling#explore#instagram#landscape#beautiful#holiday#like#beach#summer#naturephotography#art#photo#sunset
