Thanks all! (Especially riders from UAE!) I would have loved to visit your country... unfortunately, I could not wait for my Iranian visa any longer and I've headed south.
I'm currently in Antalya, Turkey, and I plan to move along the coast to Syria. I don't have my Syrian visa, either, but I'm told I should be able to pick it up at the border (with a little luck, perhaps!) I have my Letter of Introduction from the Canadian Embassy in Ankara, so that might help a little.
I'd still like to continue south into Africa from Jordan (or Israel, if necessary) but I think it's tougher to do than if I ended up in Yemen. Anyway, I started a similar thread in "Trip Transport" to ask about shipping options from Jordan or Israel, so I don't want to plug up the HUBB with too many similar threads (bad etiquette Jeremy!)
Thanks again for all your help. I'm a little broken-hearted about not hitting Iran and UAE etc, but that's the way these things go! "The journey is the destination" and all that crap.
