Cairo Docks

Mist locks the Cairo Docks pier at night, cloaking the dark waterfront in haze. The tramp steamer Bantu Wind prepares to cast off under a single pool of light, where pirates load final stores. Indiana Jones and Marion embrace warmly, Sallah stands between them with a paternal send-off, and Captain Simon Katanga watches from the rail, pipe smoke curling in the air. This misty expanse frames a fragile emotional respite before the voyage's dangers.
