The teams depart from the Chettinad House in Chennai, India, and receive a clue directing them to fly 2,400 miles to Kuwait City, Kuwait. Upon arrival, they discover the Kuwait Towers, where they take numbers to participate in a Roadblock once the towers open. In this challenge, one team member must ascend 610 feet and gather pieces to solve a puzzle. One team chooses to take the Fast Forward to secure their safety. After completing the Roadblock, the remaining teams head three miles to a local bead shop, where they face a Detour option: Manual or Automatic. Teams opting for Manual must load bags of camel feed, while those choosing Automatic guide a camel with a robotic jockey. Many teams encounter navigation issues en route to their Detour tasks, and ultimately, one team fails to find either option in time and is eliminated from the competition.
