Teams had to travel to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel marina, wait for the Dubai Pearl dhow and search the ship for the skipper, who had their next clue.
Choice A: Count 'Em Up
Teams had to travel to Al-Arsa Souq and correctly count the number of dried limes in a sack before receiving their next clue.
Lucy & Emilia, Michelle & Jo, Paul & Steve, Ross & Tarryn, and Shane & Andrew chose this task.
Choice B: Price 'Em Up
Teams had to travel to the Gold Souq and find a marked jewellery store, where they had to arrange seven pieces of jewellery from the least expensive to the most expensive before receiving their next clue.
Teams had to travel on foot to the Deira Old Souq station, where they found their next clue.
At Deira Old Souq Station, teams would have the option to U-Turn a team, without revealing their identity. Shane & Andrew used the U-Turn on Paul & Steve. Since Paul & Steve completed the Count 'Em Up Detour, they would be forced to backtrack and complete the Price 'Em Up Detour before continuing.
Teams must fly to Istanbul, Turkey. Upon arrival, teams had to travel to the Blue Mosque and search the grounds for a sultan, who had their next clue.
"Whose memory won't go to water?"
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock had to memorise eight Arabic symbols within the main dome of the Hagia Sophia and then line them up on a vertical column at the Basilica Cistern. Racers could only go back to the Hagia Sophia once if they were unable to recall the symbols. Once the symbols were ordered correctly, racers could retrieve their next clue from a pool of leeches.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Sarah and Ross were unable to complete the Roadblock and incurred a 4-hour penalty.Teams must travel by foot to the Pit Stop at Istanbul Archeaological Museum to check in.
For coming in first place, Paul & Steve won a trip for two to the Australian Rally Championship.
