The Amazing Race Season 5 Episode 6, titled "Why Can't We Get a Camel?" finds the remaining eight teams continuing their journey through the Middle East as they take on new challenges and obstacles in hopes of moving one step closer to the $1 million prize.
The episode begins with the teams departing from their previous pitstop in Egypt and heading to their next destination in Nairobi, Kenya. Upon arrival, they are greeted with a Roadblock that involves participating in a traditional Masai tribe jumping dance. While some teams struggle with the physical demands of the dance, others breeze through it and move on to the Detour.
For the Detour, teams must choose between "Marked for Delivery" or "No Marked Difference."

As the teams continue their journey, tensions rise and alliances are formed and broken, with each team fighting tooth and nail to stay in the game and avoid elimination.
The episode culminates in a tense and dramatic finish as the teams race to reach the next pitstop, with one team narrowly avoiding elimination by mere seconds.
