The man in the blue head wrap or tagulmust is a Tuareg, Sahara desert nomads most prevelent in Burkina Faso, Algeria, Libya, Mali and Niger. They roam the desert on white camels. So this must go with our Burkina Faso site.
apskip:
GMAN, why must it go with the Burkina Faso site? You named 3 countries each of which is a valid possibility. First would be Niamey, Niger, which I have previously cited as the best possibility. Mali has Timbuctu, the fabled outpost in the Sahara. Algeria is a large country with several possible places.

*Ireland is one of five new countries The Amazing Race 12 filmed in, along with Croatia, Lithuania and two African countries with names that van Munster said most people can't pronounce.
*"It's very exciting to go to new locations because we have gone to places where people have never seen a television camera or have never seen television"
*The Amazing Race 12's course will span approximately 30,000 miles in 21 days, making it one of the shortest courses in the show's 12 seasons

*The show will crisscross the world, from Holland to India to Croatia, and head to a few off-the-beaten-track towns that will send viewers grabbing for their globes.
*"There are probably four places that the average person is going to hear and say, 'They're going where?' And they're going to have to get out a map to know where it is. They are very remote," said Bertram Van Munster, the other half of the executive producing team. "We hit most of the continents, except Antarctica."
