Acc. in Syria, Jordan, Turkey... ?
 

We will be travelling overland from France to Jordan (Amman) through Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Syria and, of course, Jordan. :-)
Do you have any up to date GPS waypoints of recommended accomodation en route?
Campsite or hostel - should be clean and, if possible, with a safe parking for the bikes. The cheaper and nicer the better! :-)
GPS waypoints most welcome as we propably will arrive by night sometimes and a GPS makes it a lot easier to find :-)
If you don't habe a GPS waypoint but can recommend anyway - just feel free - it'll help us a lot!
Thank you so much!

Hi Silke,

did you get any response? I know it's some time ago but maybe you do have some motorfriendly adresses?

Best,

Willem

I did get a response, BUT...
It was a GPS file with places to sleep, not to STAY. So after having been misguided to parking spaces for truck drivers we deleted the file on our GPS...
Sorry, can't help you!

I don't have a record of all the places where I stood during my trip to Syria and Jordan of August 2008, but I remember this:


HOTEL MANDALOUN
Aleppo, Syria

:: Mandaloun Hotel-Restaurant :: Contact Us


The service was near to perfect, our motorcycles were parked just in front of the entrance for two nights (and guarded) + it's at walking distance from the important and touristic places of Aleppo.
If I remember well, the price was Euro 40.00 for a very nice two-bed room with air conditioning.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.

thanks! I'll take it with me!

I will recommend you to check Andon's webpage who was here last month.
(CapeTown-İstanbul trip. 34680 km. 306 days.)
Pages from istanbul back to jordan with photos will be very useful to you as they are up to date and with details.

best wishes

40 euros a night in Syria is luxury indeed; was it the Ritz?

hi well done for doing this trip did you feel safe traveling there did you ever feel unwelcome i might have to go that way to get to india from the uk but i dont know anything about those middle east countries and was wondering if its safe to go through

This post is quite a few years old now and some things will have changed and of course there is covid but many people here myself included have made that trip without major problems and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I suggest you take a look through ride reports and the sections relating to your route to get an idea of what is involved, hopefully things will get back to something closer to normal next year and you will be able to make your trip.
