Kairouan

In other words, Europeans are forbidden to enter any of the Tunisian mosques save those at Kairouan.

In Tunisia, with the exception of the mosques at Kairouan, none but the Mussulman may pass their thresholds.

Kairouan became the capital of what is now Tunisia in the ninth century, and Tunis itself was its servitor.

It was very short, and was addressed from Kairouan, where Artois had established himself for the spring in an Arab house.
