From Quiz "The Amazing Race 3" [6]

Answer: Vietnam

Opening their first clue on Mount Faber, teams were instructed to head to Singapore's international airport and make their way to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in order to locate their next route marker. For the duration of the teams' time in Vietnam, all of the race flags have been changed to solid yellow so as to differentiate from the country's national flag comprised of the normal yellow and red. Once in Ho Chi Minh City, teams needed to find the statue of Bac Ho in the city's Rex Square to find their next clue box. All four teams went to Ho Chi Minh City via Kuala Lumpur.

In the beginning of Leg 7, teams departed from the sixth Pit Stop, the Riad Catalina in Marrakesh, Morocco, and were instructed to fly from Morocco to Munich, Germany.

Arianne, Michael, Zach, Heather, Gerard, John Vito, Damon, Ian, Andrew, and Tramel completed this Road Block.

Answer: Morocco

After the completion of the Detour, teams needed to make their way to Algeciras, Spain in their own marked cars. Once there, they needed to hitch a ride on a ferry crossing the Mediterranean to Tangier, Morocco in Africa. Even before this however, many of the teams made the mistake of pumping unleaded gas into their diesel cars and as a result had a horrible time getting to where they needed to be. In Tangier, teams needed to find their next clue outside the ferry terminal at which point they could proceed onwards.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 3" [2]
