Fayoum is home to Tunis Village.
This section explains the history of Tunis Village
Evelyne Porret, a Swiss woman and Potter who opened her Pottery studio with her husband in the 1980s and quickly turned it into a Pottery school to teach all of the local children how to make pottery items and encourage them to become budding Potters, was the driving force behind the establishment of the Egyptian Museum of Art in Cairo in the 1960s.
An Egyptian village called the Tunis Village is situated in the city of Tunis. It’s still going strong today, with all of the kids in the neighborhood making pottery and making money for their families to help them get by.
