Rocky Jordan is a radio series centered around an American restaurateur named Rocky Jordan who finds himself solving mysteries and embarking on adventures in Cairo. Set in the Café Tambourine, which is described as "crowded with forgotten men, and alive with the babble of many languages," the show follows Jordan as he encounters crime, mystery, beautiful women, or a combination of the three. With a deliberately Eastern atmosphere created through music and sound effects, the show carefully uses real-life street names in Cairo, adding authenticity to its setting.

The show aired on CBS from October 31, 1948, to September 10, 1950, and then again from June 27, 1951, to August 22, 1951. The character of Rocky Jordan was introduced in a similar show called A Man Named Jordan, which was broadcast from 1945 to 1947 and set in Istanbul. There were talks in 1951 of creating a TV series based on the show, starring George Raft, but this never came to fruition. Jack Moyles played Rocky Jordan for most of the show's history, eventually being replaced by George Raft for the brief 1951 run. Jay Novello played Captain Sam Sabaaya, Cairo Police captain, throughout the entire series. The show was sponsored by Del Monte Foods and featured Middle Eastern music by Richard Aurandt.
