So essentially, depending on where you leave from, your final destination can be adjusted accordingly:
- if you leave from one airport in a country, your final leg can be any airport in that country (eg leave LHR, return MAN)
- if you leave from the Middle East, you can return anywhere in the Middle East. (eg leave CAI, return DXB, DOH, etc)
- if you leave from the US or Canada, you can return to any airport in either country (eg leave YVR, return JFK)

I'll leave you to the rest.
Especially relevant to this thread:

NOT leave from CAI and return to JNB - CAI is not considered Africa.
