  Giza (Great Pyramid)
   Cairo (Old Cairo Airport) to Luxor (Luxor International Airport)
  Luxor (Karnak) 
   Luxor (Nile River – Banana Island or Pigeon Farm)
  Luxor (Habu Temple) 
   Luxor (West Nile Ferry Port) to Nile River (Crocodile Island (in Swedish)) 
  The Detour of this leg was a choice between Herd It or Haul It. In both Detours, teams had to travel on traditional carriage known as a kalesh. In Herd It, teams had to travel to Banana Island and load ten goats into a sailboat and deliver them to a shepherd on the other side of the Nile River in exchange for their next clue. In Haul It, teams traveled 3 miles (4.8 km) to Pigeon Farm. Once there, teams had to use an ancient device to lift water from the Nile river and fill an urn. Then, teams had to transport the urn by donkey to a farmhouse and fill a cistern to a marked line to receive their next clue.
  In the leg's Roadblock, one team member had to choose a large dig site and use archeological tools to dig in the sand until they unearthed a scarab, a beetle stone carving which is a part of Egyptian mythology. When the scarab was found, an archeologist would give teams their next clue.
  Additional task
  At the Great Pyramid, teams had to descend 350 feet (110 m) through a narrow shaft into a deep claustrophobic cavern known as the Creation Room inside the pyramid to find their next clue.
  Additional note
  Team could take a commercial flight or a charter flight that departed at 11:30 a.m. in order to travel to Luxor.
