Movies filmed in Kairouan

• Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Kairouan as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Kairouan

1 production shot at 1 place inside Kairouan, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Kairouan itself.

• Four Flies on Grey Velvet Great Mosque of Kairouan per Wikipedia 1971

Named here by Kairouan’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Kairouan, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

• Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981

  “Kairouan was used as a filming location for the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, standing in for Cairo.” Wikipedia
