Kairouan, also known as Kirwan or al-Qayrawan, is the capital of the Kairouan Governorate in Tunisia. The foundation of Kairouan dates to about the year 670 when the Arab general Uqba ibn Nafi of Amir Muauia selected a site in the middle of a dense forest as the location of a military post for the conquest of the West. Kairouan, the capital of Kairouan Governorate, lies south of Sousse, 50 km from the east coast and 184 km (114 mi) from Tunis. By the end of the 10th century Kairouan had become an independent city-state. |
