Kairouan: Story of a Town

01 Jan 2009

Within the framework of its contribution to the celebration of Kairouan Capital of Islamic Culture 2009, the Tunis Science City has elaborated a show at the planetarium entitled “Kairouan story of a town”. This show is a kind of strip cartoon about the old man Mansour who tells his young children the story of the foundation of Kairouan. Furthermore, this show sheds light on the religious role of Kairouan in the Maghreb area and around the Mediterranean Sea. Through this story which is displayed on a 360° screen, the old man Mansour tells us about the scientific radiance of Kairouan on the neighbouring countries.
