''Cairo Jim'' is a series of children's novels by Geoffrey [=McSkimming=] starring the titular CaptainErsatz and AffectionateParody of ''Franchise/IndianaJones''. The AdventurerArchaeologist travels with [[PollyWantsAMicrophone Doris the Macaw]], a bird with a [[{{Omniglot}} gift for ancient languages]] and a fondness for Creator/{{Shakespeare}}, and [[IntellectualAnimal Brenda the]] [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands Wonder Camel]] around the world to locations such as Greece, Peru, Turkey and Crete, although they were based in Egypt.
The series contained roughly 20 books published between 1991 and 2007, and established a cast of many recurring characters, including Jim's [[InsistentTerminology "good friend"]] Jocelyn Osgood, who received a few books of her own; Gerald Perry Esquire, Jim's financier and founding member of the [[BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats Old Relics Society]], and the [[ArchEnemy villainous]] [[RivalTurnedEvil Captain]] [[FatBastard Neptune]] [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Flannelbottom]] [[CardCarryingVillain Bone]].

!!Tropes in this series include:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The titles of about half the books.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: IndianaJones style.
* AllMythsAreTrue: Let's see, we've got Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Indian, and that's just for starters.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Kevin and Abdullah.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: Joan]] in Ascent into Asgard.
** [[spoiler: Bone and Jim]] In the ending to the final book. ''[[AmbiguousEnding Maybe.]]''
* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: The Old Relics Society isn't ''exactly'' this, as it's not a secret, but it serves more or less the same purpose.
* CoolShades: Jim's signature sun-spectacles.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Bone's middle name is Flannelbottom. The trope is somewhat averted in that no one ever comments on this.
* FashionVictimVillain: ''Bone''. Let's see, there's the fezzes, the waistcoats and the plus-fours, all in horribly garish and clashing colours.
* FatBastard: Again, Bone. He doesn't seem to eat a lot, he's just… large.
* FateWorseThanDeath: The ending to Bedlam from Bollywood.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Kelvin and Abdullah.
* IntellectualAnimal: Brenda knows large portions of the EncyclopaediaBritannica.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Every other sentence Mrs Amun-Ra says.
* MotiveDecay: Bone's plans vary from world domination to get rich quick schemes to petty revenge against Jim.
* NearlyNormalAnimal: Brenda.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Brenda tends to fall into this. Somewhat justified as she's a camel and wouldn't be able to say what powers she has. And any power that's used once will almost definitely come up again.
* NiceHat: Jim's signature pith helmet.
* NoodleIncident: Anything mentioned in one of Gerald Perry Esquire's {{RamblingOldManMonologue}}s.
* {{Omniglot}}: Doris discovers a skill for ancient languages. Somewhat justified when you consider that she's a TalkingAnimal who learnt English quite quickly.
* OverlyLongGag: X looked at Y. Y looked at Z. Z looked at X. X looked at Z. Continue until you've exhausted every possible combination of characters.
* PaperThinDisguise: Some of the disguises Bone uses, especially when you take into account his [[VillainousGlutton size]] and [[FashionVictimVillain taste in fashion]].
* PollyWantsAMicrophone: Doris is a talking macaw.
** Also, Desdemona, Bone's raven.
* RavensAndCrows: Bone has the raven Desdemona as Doris' EvilCounterpart. She's filthy and flea ridden, and can't count.
* RamblingOldManMonologue: Members of the Old Relics Society tend to do this.
* RivalTurnedEvil: Before Bone turned evil, he used to be in Jim's archeology class.
* RunningGags: With Kevin and Abdullah, there's the typical identical twin gag of characters confusing the two.
** Also, them responding to sayings with 'Don't bring my <relative> <name that was just mentioned> into this!'
** Jim's poetry being terrible.
* SicklyNeuroticGeek: Pyrella Finch may not be a geek, but she's allergic to practically everything. Including ''the sun.''
* SelfDeprecation: Some of the reviews the books cite are (apparently) written by Captain Bone, and say things like 'This is a terrible book. Don't read it.'
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kevin or Kelvin?
* SupremeChef: Mrs Amun-Ra's scones are to die for.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Doris likes snails. Brenda eats worms. Desdemona likes seaweed.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: A large part of Bone's motivation, especially in the second book, is his interest in Jocelyn.
* WomanInWhite: Photographer Pyrella Finch always wears white, in the 'just fashion' version of the trope.
