The history of Tunis village is told.
Evelyn Bure is a Swiss woman who, more than 65 years ago, went on a trip to a small town in Egypt called the hamlet of Tunis, hoping to find peace there. At that time, the city was tiny, with more than ten or twenty simple rural homes. After her tour was over in the town of Tunis, she went back to her home country. However, she never went back to Tunis because she fell in love with the small-town feel of that place.
She returned to the small town of Tunis with the idea to change the villagVillage’sry and make it one of the most famous tourist spots in the world. She started the “Fayoum School of Pottery” to teach the young people of the villa village to make potato tery.
Evelyn was the institution’s first student. Evelyn moved to the villa village after changing thousands of people’s lives and teaching them how to make ceramics, and she lived there until she died. Because of what she did, the villa village became the world’s most famous place to make ceramics, and it now hosts an annual international ceramics festival.
