TAR 30: Pre-Race Speculation
nrh2110:
Because of the filming date, I'm predicting a visit to the Middle East/North Africa region. Maybe we'll finally see another Egypt leg, likely in a more politically temperate area like Hurghada, Luxor, Sharm el Sheikh, or Alexandria. I also think Oman is a plausible guess; we haven't seen a visit there in a while. The producers have already said Qatar isn't happening because something like "the government is disorganized". I don't think we'll see UAE or Morocco due to having seen it in 28 and 25, Lebanon is too close to Syria, Palestine/Israel is too controversial at a time that TAR desperately needs good ratings, so my guess is Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Jordan, and/or Tunisia. Tunisia and Jordan are the most likely because they are the most politically stable (especially Tunisia), plus Tunisia hasn't been seen since 1 and Jordan has never been seen.

The huge problem that the Middle East/North Africa is more instability in some stated countries above due to conflicts within Palestine, diplomacy crisis in Qatar and clashes in Libya. Definitely ruled out the area as we visited Middle East recently in TAR 28.
I except a South Africa (an underused nation) is very likely and has a 100 percent chance to visit. That is away longer overdue.

I expect a South Africa (or another Southern Africa) visit as well, but I'm not sure is it feasible enough to feature on penultimate leg since it only have three daily direct flights from Johannesburg (The main gateway of enter/exit South Africa) back to US (Atlanta, NYC, and Washington D.C.) which limited final destination choices. Maybe I just mumbling nonsense now since international version like TAR Asia 2 did have penultimate South Africa leg.

Hahaha, Tunisia is very far from stable. Perosnally I would love to see Jordan. Also what about Turkey, My aunt is currently in Istanbul and it's fine, the Aegean region is amazing and I visit often. Öludeniz, Kas, Istanbul and Cappadocia would be great.
Maanca:
Yeah...we won't see Tunisia again. It's not what it was back in 2001
