Marhala Bar

The Marhala Bar was drinking establishment in Cairo, Egypt. In 1936, Indiana Jones retreated to the bar when he believed Marion Ravenwood killed in a truck explosion in the city's marketplace.

There, he came across rival René Belloq who was working alongside Nazis to find the Ark of the Covenant. When Jones tried to attack Belloq, he discovered the mostly Arab clientele training their guns on him.

Unarmed, Jones was at their mercy until he was rushed by Sallah el-Kahir's nine children. Forming a protective shield around him, the children led the archaeologist from the bar to where Sallah awaited him outside.

Jones kept a sketch of Ravenwood he had made on one of the bar's napkins and placed it inside his journal.
