Cairo Market Carts

Rustic wooden carts laden with fruits, spices, and market goods crowd the narrow alleys of Cairo's outskirts. Indy's truck and the pursuing Nazi staff car slam through, overturning the carts and sending them tumbling as splintered debris. Pedestrians and animals scatter amid flying crates and spilled wares, which block paths and force sharp swerves in the high-stakes chase.
