Qennarit (ar|قناريت) is a local authority/village in the Sidon District in Lebanon. It is located 51 km southeast of Beirut.[1]
In 1875, Victor Guérin noted about the village: "Kennarit, a village inhabited by Metualis and which succeeded an ancient locality, as evidenced by a reservoir dug into the rock, several sepulchral caves and ancient quarries."[2]
