Omar's Cafe

Omar's Café is the establishment of Omar Hassan in the Old Quarter of Cairo — a meeting place, deal-making spot, and source of excellent coffee that becomes the cell's primary informal base of operations in the city. It is where Pendleton first introduces the cell to Omar, where planning conversations happen over multiple sessions, where Hertz negotiates for occult supplies, and where the operational pulse of Cairo-based activity is taken. The interior is warm, welcoming, and thoroughly Omar's domain — he greets guests effusively, dispatches serving boys with coffee, and manages every conversation with the practised ease of a man who knows exactly what everyone in his establishment wants.
