Teams must fly to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Upon arrival, teams must make their way to a supercar tail party in the Al Faqa desert. After sampling tea and dates, teams must look inside the cars for their next clue.

Teams must travel by taxi to the Dubai Frame and make their way to the top of the tower to find their next clue.

Choice A: Fall
Teams must make their way to the top of the Burj Khalifa, where they will play a virtual reality game involving intercepting a satellite signal, then diving off the Burj Khalifa. Once they are finished with the game, they will be asked five questions on particular details in the game. If they answer all five correctly, teams will receive their next clue.

Colin & Christie, Leo & Jamal, Rachel & Elissa, and Tyler & Korey chose this task.

Choice B: Find
Teams must make their way to Dubai Garden Glow. Once there, they will need to first dress as T. rexes, then collect five different colored eggs, then return them to a nest to get their next clue.

Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Janelle & Britney, and Nicole & Victor chose this task.

Teams must travel by taxi to Soho Garden to find their next clue.

The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock would have to enter Soho Garden to a silent rave. They will need to listen to what the DJ is playing and then find a person who is also listening to the same music on their pair of headphones using only their sight. If they find the correct person, they will receive their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

Teams must make there way to the Amwaj Tower and then zipline to the Dubai Marina to check in. The order teams arrive at the top of the tower would be the order they would check-in at the Pit Stop.

For coming in first place, Becca & Floyd won $5,000 each.

For coming in last place, Rachel & Elissa will have to perform a Speed Bump at some point during the next leg of the race.
