TAR has done desert camps before; if they're going to do it again in Oman, then Wahiba Sands is a possible destination. It's where several tour agencies drop their people off for the Bedouin experience.

Only if the hippies are willing to share.  :beer: (they'd better not do it in public, though; ol' Qaboos has no sense of humor about that kind of thing  :rules:).

No Antarctica either.  That leaves five continents which is the number that CBS promoed at the beginning along with 60,000 miles.

Phil mentioned in an article there would be a " stop " in Africa ...maybe just a place for airport connections ?of course the writer of the article could have mis-quoted   :snicker:
The top-rated, three-time Emmy-winning CBS show returns Feb. 29, with 11 pairs of contestants on a world trek with stops in Africa and The Middle East. Keoghan says that after past "Amazing Race" installments gave viewers a look at everyday folks in other lands helping travelers, "I was asked by people in e-mails and on the street, 'Were those Muslim people really like that?'

The teams travel to Oman and endure the desert's piercing heat while digging for a clue. Phil Keoghan is the host.

I'm with you, puddin.  We haven't been able to use Emporis (to ID buildings) since, well, since Moscow.   Wonder if we'll be spending any time in Athens, come to think of it.  Gosh darn it!    (:;)

There's one location that we get to in the middle east where the teams are immersed in a daily
task that a lot of people have to go through. It's great to see teams
used to going down to the 7-11 living life in a completely different
way and certainly a way that people overseas have to cope with every
day.

Nov 21st 2005
"There will be some prominent landmarks featured," promised the typically secretive Keoghan by cell phone from the set of the show's ninth season, now shooting "somewhere near the Middle East."

NEXT TIME ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:

Phil: Ray &YoYo turn against each other.
Ray: Let's find the f--ing bridge.
Yo: Ray, stop cussing at me!

Phil: Teams travel to the middle east, where BJ suffers in the piercing sun at the ROADBLOCK.
BJ: We're dead.

The minaret looks like it's from the corniche at Mutrah (source). The fort may be as well, but I'm not ready to call it.

I think you should call it. Looks dead on to me down to the blue doorway and red awnings on the other building.  :jumpy:

Is BJ faking passing out in the desert ? I would't put it pass him to be clowning around ..he probably pops up with clue in hand .

The bridge behind R/Y looks like the Rion-Antirion bridge. The neon looks the same. Are they trying to find a different bridge?

The fortress structure in the previews is most like the Twin Forts: Al-Jalali and Al-Mirani.

Nevermind, it's the Muttrah Fort, like slowhatch said.

Good catch, slowhatch.   :tup:  Looks like a match to the Muttrah Mosque

If Boingo or anybody else wants to go fort-looking, this page might be an OK starting place. Good luck; Oman has a boatload of forts. The street lamps and decorations make it look like a festival is in town; I checked for stuff in Nov 05, but no luck.
The guys in white look like musicians (source) (maybe pit stop musicians?).
