At the start of the leg, teams had to pick up hay from a marked feed station and then deliver it to a stable across town. They then had to take the horse-drawn carriages across town, and thank their horses with an apple, to receive their next clue. After picking up a marked Ford Fiesta from behind the Koutoubia Mosque, teams drove themselves out to a pottery stand in the Atlas Desert to search for their next clue. In the Detour, teams picked between tasks in the Berber culture at Oumnasse Casbah. In Camp, teams set up a traditional Berber tent. Once the judge was satisfied with their work, he would hand them their next clue. In Cream, teams had to milk a goat to fill a milk pail, and then churn goat milk into butter. Once they had 3 ounces (85 g) of butter, they would receive their next clue. For the Roadblock, one team member had to cross a series of rope and plank bridges and zip lines across a canyon in the Atlas Mountains. Once to the other side, they had to put together a puzzle, making sure to match the beveled edges and designs. Once the puzzle was correct, they could receive their next clue and then join their partner on the other side of the canyon, and then head to the Pit Stop at Casbah d’If.
Shelley and Nici arrived last at the Pit Stop and were eliminated.

Teams departed Copenhagen for Marrakesh, Morocco, and upon arrival had to head to the Jemaa el-Fnaa marketplace to search for a marked food cart garage for their first clue. Teams had to help set up a food cart for the market place, and once the cart owner was satisfied with their set up, he would give them their next clue. For their Speed Bump, Misti & Jim had to go to Le Cadeau Berbère and pick up ten Moroccan rugs and then hang them up along a wire next to the Riad Monceau hotel to prepare them for sale. Once they were done, they could continue racing. After the food carts were completed, teams headed on foot to the Bab Debbagh Tannery for the Roadblock. At the tannery, one team member had to collect three unfinished goat skins and remove the hair from them. Once done, they picked up three completed hides and then delivered them across town to a nearby cobbler and receive a receipt. Once done, they could return the receipt to the tannery for their next clue, directing them to Ben Youssef Madrasa where they picked up the clue for the Detour: Twirl Time and Tea Time. In Twirl Time, teams participated in a gnawa dance. After getting their costume at Bob Magic Music and learning how to perform, they headed to Jemaa el-Fnaa to perform. While one team member played a drum, keeping the rhythm, the other played the krakebs while twirling a tassel on their hat around. If they could keep up the performance for a minute, they would receive their next clue. In Tea Time, teams learned how to properly serve Moroccan mint tea. After picking up a traditional tea set from Le Paradis du Thee which included a sugar box, mint tea, green tea, and a samovar, they then made their way to Palais Gharnata where they got into costume and observed how to properly serve the tea. While one team member held the serving tray with one hand, the other would ceremonially pour the tea into two cups at once, making sure to lift the kettles up to a particular height. Once the professional tea server was pleased with their performance, he would give them their next clue. Both clues directed teams to Le Grand Balcon du Café Glacier where they encountered the U-Turn, and then a clue sending them into the marketplace once more for the Pit Stop at the Al Matjar carpet shop.
Keith and Whitney were u-turned by Shelley and Nici as a payback for the confrontation that had with them before. This caused Keith and Whitney to arrive last at the Pit Stop and were eliminated.
