Sallah's House

Sallah's house stands as the Cairo home from which his pet monkey originates, a detail Marion recalls amid the bazaar's chaos while fussing over the animal. Indy brushes off the sentiment with a jab, pulling her forward. This offscreen residence anchors Sallah's local life, housing his mischievous companion that bolts into the crowd and later spies for Nazis, blending domestic quirk with brewing peril.
