ME Trip
Maa' Salam
1) Go Turkey,(Iran, if you have the time), Syria, Jordan. Do Egypt round and back via Israel by sea to Greece and home.
2) Go from Ygypt to Saudi and the gulf, and then back via Jordan to Israel and to Europ by sea.
You can cross from Jordan and Egypt to Israel.
And YES one can go from Israel into and out Palestine's west bank. not to the Gaza Strip.
Ride safe!

What Yoni said in his number 1). Maybe add a ferry from Iran to UAE/Oman/Yemen and back. Forget Saudi and Qatar. Plenty of info on the Hubb if you do a search on these countries. Every question will be answered.
But don't let Saudi put you off. People, countryside, roads and sights in the middle east are great. And the visa process is easier than you might think.
cheers

Hi Ozhanu
Getting into Palestine West bank territory from Israel (crossing The Green Line-which is the 1967 border line) is a day by day simple no visa rout. Not recomended, and actually forbidden to Israeli citizens deu to security reasons. BUT, non israelies are alowd to enter and pass the Israel army road blocks and go visit the place. all is recomended that you will contact someone in Palestine that will be kind of an address to go to, just in case - you know, it is a war zone 
Going from Haifa Israel to Greece is unfortunatly, by Rosenfeld shipping co. and that is an old rusty cargo ship that sail to Athens in 3 days twice a week. send bike by ship (ap.400$), and fly to Athens. You can find a lot of stuff on that issu here in this ME thred.
Ho, I've been four times to Turkey. It is THE Greatest palce in this part of the world! and what great people!!
Take care
Yoni

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
