Syria, Jordan, Egypt
 

Hi, we are in Istanbul now and having got our Syrian Visas are heading that way. I expect to be in Turkey for another couple of weeks and then about 2 weeks in Syria and the same for Jordan, any one around fancy meeting up for a "coke" or anyone with info on must see places in Syria and Jordan.

Syria : During your entry they will request around 60 $ for insurance.Refuse it ,because the actual amount is about 40 $. Places that should be seen are Crac de Chavaliers ( ~ 100 km.after Lazkiye ,on the left hand ) and Palmyra.
Jordan :Petra (magnificient !! - dont miss it.The entrance tickets are normally 30$/person but there is most probably %50 discount due present situtaion.And Mt.Nebo.If your into diving ,you should visit Akabe.

If you need any detailed info just say so. I was there in April ,so the infos are fresh.

Definately agree with Crac de Chevaliers, we've been on the road for over twelve months - Cape Town 2 OZ (currently in Bangkok) - and 'the Crac' has to be one of the most awesome attractions in the world.

I rode around the Mediterranean one month ago.
Remember, to reach Egypt take the ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba: if you enter in Israel you can't cross neither Syria nor Lybia. That's mean you can't go back home, since there are non ferry connection from Egypt to any other country.
