Courtyard of the Sultan's Palace, Iskenderun (Including Stairs and Archway)

Private courtyard within the Sultan’s palace in Iskenderun, site of high-stakes negotiations over looted treasures between Donovan and the Sultan. The courtyard features: 1. Broad stone stairs leading down into the sunlit space, where Elsa Schneider rushes to deliver news of Indiana Jones and Henry Jones Sr.'s escape. The stairs overlook the bargaining, where the Sultan rejects treasures for a Rolls-Royce, with guards and Kazim's watchful presence adding tension. Dust motes dance in the daylight, footsteps echo sharply, and the air carries voices of alliance forged amid Grail pursuit urgency. 2. A transitional archway, serving as a key structural and narrative element during the Grail quest negotiations. The archway frames the scene and is distinct from residential courtyards in other episodes, emphasizing its role in the palace's power dynamics. The courtyard is distinct from the public Iskenderun Train Station and is a closed, private space central to the episode's climax.
