Years ago, Saddam Hussein used to eat here. The owner is long dead, but according to his son Saddam was getting a political refugee's pension from the Eqyptian government back then, and he used to spend part of it here. Now, the son also tells this story: Apparently, Saddam owed the restaurant owner 30 pounds when he finally left the country, and in time, the Iraqi ambassador to Egypt shows up here to repay the money. "What?" says the astonished owner to the ambassador. "Saddam got a job?" - CBC reporter Rick MacInnes-Rae, from a report on Saddam Hussein's time living in the Cairo neighbourhood of Dokki (also transliterated Doqqi). Hussein lived there for four years, after participating in a failed attempt to assassinate the Iraqi Premier in 1959.
