Summary "Tales of Secret Egypt" by Sax Rohmer is a collection of fictional narratives likely written in the early 20th century. The stories set in Egypt feature a mix of mystery, adventure, and supernatural elements, revolving around intriguing characters who navigate the mysticism and secrets of the ancient land. Rohmer’s unique style invites readers into a world filled with exotic allure and hidden dangers, emphasizing the enigma of Egypt's magical past. The opening portion introduces the reader to the character Kernaby Pasha, who finds himself embroiled in a series of mysterious and potentially dangerous events in Cairo. After observing a suspicious one-eyed beggar and exhibiting concern for his friend, Ali Mohammed, who seems terrified by the beggar's presence, Kernaby's curiosity leads him deeper into Egypt's secrets. The tension escalates as he encounters Abû Tabâh, a magician, and is drawn into a world of intrigue involving theft, dark magic, and the supernatural. As the plot unfolds, Kernaby discovers that his involvement with Ali Mohammed and other key characters places him at the center of an unfolding mystery, linking personal safety with the esoteric traditions that permeate Egyptian culture.
