Petra and Amman are Jordanian cities. You need to cross Egypt (carnet) to get from Lybia to Jordania. Although Egypt and Jordania do not border each other, there is a ferry between the two countries across the gulf of Aquaba (Red Sea). So you don´t have to go through Israel. But there were reports a few years ago, that this ferry does not take motorcycles.
With the tensions rising in Arabia, and George Bushs war speaches, I would not go there with an American bike. Canadian or (better)European plates should be okay.
