TAR 17 EP 8 "Ali Baba in a Suit" (Muscat, Oman)
theschnauzers:
Regarding the mosque -- There was a mosque in Morocco that served as the site for a clue box; no tasks were performed there but the Racers did not enter the Mosque itself, just the outer courtyard. Both male and female Racers had to make sure they were respectfully dressed (head scarfs for the women as I recall) for that locale.
If a mosque turns up again as a place the Racers are directed to, I doubt it will be anything more that a clue box for a route marker clue.

This is my guess.......
Jill and Thomas are being driving to the top of that cliff for the rapell in a picup it seems. They drive their car to the rigging point and/or RB cluebox.........when Jill gets all rigged up, they are driven to the top of the cliff....Jill starts rapell down...Thomas rides back down in truck. When finished, they get in car and leave.

I suspect that at some point racers change from driving themselves to having a driver take over. They did something similar a few seasons ago; they got a driver to drive them across sand dunes.

When Gary and Mallory are lost they are driving themselves. As I already mentioned they are at the park before it opens, as are probably everyone else. This makes it seem like to me that they are headed to either the detour or a transitional Route Info stop.
I wonder if they are looking for the grand mosque in order to get a clue from somewhere around it. Since they appear to be near the Al lawatabi maybe they got their mosques crossed up. These two are pretty far apart and that would be a bad mistake.

It looks more like an SUV but that doesn't matter.
What do you think Nick and Vicki are doing?
Prophet:
For what it's worth, I am quite sure from comparing multiple shots, that the teams are driving Toyota Landcruisers. It looks like Jill and Thomas and Nick and Vicki could be in the back of that.
