This 100 millime stamp presents an allegorical composition where a calligraphic bird flies over the domes of the Great Mosque of Kairouan, holy city and first spiritual center of the Maghreb. Hatem El Mekki here merges the serenity of the historic monument with the fluidity of the Arabic letter, creating a symbol of peace and cultural continuity. In the background, the silhouette of Mount Zaghouan recalls the geographical roots of the nation. This program celebrates the harmony between the sacred and freedom, presenting Tunisia as a land of radiant spirituality where millennial history dialogues with universal aspirations for progress.
