Ep 8. One Hot Camel

In this episode of The Amazing Race season 23, titled "One Hot Camel," the remaining teams find themselves racing through Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The episode begins with the teams departing from the Pit Stop at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where Leo & Jamal narrowly avoided elimination in the previous leg.

The teams are instructed to make their way to a nearby falcon hospital, where they must don traditional Emirati attire and learn how to use a falcon to hunt for prey. Once they have successfully caught a piece of meat with their falcons, they receive their next clue.

The clue sends the teams to a nearby camel farm, where they must navigate a challenging obstacle course on the back of a camel. The teams struggle to control their camels as they race through the course, with some teams falling behind as they struggle to keep up with the leaders.

Once they have completed the camel course, the teams must drive themselves to the Emirates Palace hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. At the hotel, they must locate a specific room and perform a series of tasks, including preparing a traditional Emirati dish and serving it to a group of hotel guests.

After completing the tasks at the hotel, the teams are given their next clue, which leads them to the Abu Dhabi Formula One circuit. Here, the teams must race go-karts around the track, with the winners receiving an advantage for the next leg of the race.

The final challenge of the leg takes place at the Yas Viceroy Hotel, which is built over the Formula One circuit. The teams must rappel down the side of the hotel and retrieve a clue from a window at the bottom. Once they have retrieved the clue, they must race to the finish line to check in with Phil and learn their fate in the race.

Throughout the episode, tensions run high as the teams compete in challenges that push them to their limits. Some teams excel in certain challenges, while others struggle to keep up. The race is neck-and-neck, with several teams fighting for first place and others fighting to avoid elimination.
