capital of Tunisia
🇹🇳 Tunisia · 36.8008, 10.1800
Tunis is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“In Tunisia, after students in a wealthy suburb of Tunis filmed a Harlem Shake video in which they parodied Salafists and Gulf Emirs, the school director was suspended by the Ministry of Education.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Tunis as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- Harlem Shake 2013

Baarìa
2009
“The film was shot in both Bagheria, where Tornatore was born, and in an old neighborhood of Tunis, Tunisia; the latter location used because it could better depict what Bagheria looked like in the early 20th century.” Wikipedia
Named here by Tunis’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Tunis, 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.

The English Patient 1996
“The films The English Patient (1996) and The Last Days of Pompeii (2003) were also shot in studios in Tunis.” Wikipedia
