Tales of Secret Egypt

Set against the bustling bazaars and soaring minarets of early twentieth‑century Cairo, the story follows Kernaby Pasha, a keen‑eyed observer who habitually sips coffee while watching the city’s rhythms. One scorching noon he notices a one‑eyed mendicant lurking near the gold and silver market, an omen that unnerves his friend Ali Mohammed, a quiet antiques dealer. Their uneasy exchange hints at a hidden menace connected to the legendary figure Abû Tabâh.

As the narrator presses for answers, Ali whispers of a terrifying magician who commands ginn and efreets, whose very name summons dread among locals. The mention of iron—a substance the supernatural despises—adds a chilling layer to the mystery that swirls through the narrow, winding streets. Listeners are drawn into a world where superstition and danger mingle, and the promise of uncovering the secret of Abû Tabâh beckons, leaving the outcome tantalizingly uncertain.
