Location
Urban Surveillance Balcony
Cairo Street Balcony
Elevated balcony overlooks a crowded Cairo street during the day, positioning the German agent for discreet surveillance. He stands here and delivers a subtle nod to hidden thugs amid the throng below, where Indiana Jones and Marion navigate the lane. Dust hangs in the air, market shouts rise from vendors and passersby, and the height grants clear sightlines that confirm coordinated pursuit without drawing notice. Sun beats on stone railings, sharpening the tension of shadowed signals amid urban bustle.
