Saleem says that visiting the Clive Expedition is possible but their high security may quickly turn people away. He says they are being financed by the Penhew Foundation. We have him take us to Najjar's shop. He takes us to the Khan el-Khalili, an ancient marketplace off the Sharia al-Muizz. The shop is called Curios, and we head inside. An older Egyptian gentleman comes out from the back excitedly and shows off items on the walls. Victor demands better things, and he shows them a jeweled scimitar. Asking about Nefran-ka, |Najjar kicks them out of the shop. Saleem says that he could attempt to barter for information, but Najjar wants $1000 and Victor isn't willing to go that high. They get kicked out, and Charles and Quinn briefly attempt to interact with Najjar, but without Saleem, they can't translate and leave.

Meeting up again, we decide to watch the shop for the afternoon. Victor and Gunter head to the back while Charles and Quinn stick with Saleem and watch the front. Najjar locks up his shop and starts to walk down the street. Charles and Quinn attempt to follow him[1]. Najjar quickens his pace, and Quinn assumes he's been spotted and drops back with Saleem while Charles sneaks ahead. Charles notes that he's entered a building where people are sitting around drinking something. Saleem identifies it as Fishawi's, one of the most popular tea establishments in Cairo, presumably to get some tea after closing up his shop. He emerges out the front about 30 minutes later and continues walking. He continues to Al-Hussain Mosque in time for evening prayer, which lasts for about an hour. We head back to the hotel.
