My vew on the subject
Is riding to Israel via Turkey. Syria and Jordan then sending the bike from Haifa to Athens by Roro ship - it's not a ferry ( takes 2 days) fly to athens and ride it home via Italy (a day ferry across the south Adriatic) and France.
Have fun

It's best to END with Israel. Riding out is a problem. Syria will not allow you to enter if you have an Israeli stamp. You CAN get your Syrian visa at the border, in spite of what all the official websites say. (Uh. They all say you have to get it at the embassy. They lie.) *Side note: This information is two years old. I did it then, but even then, all the websites claimed you could not get your Syrian visa at the border. Don't believe everything you read (Even on Horizons Unlimited... NO offense, Grant!)

Just in Yerusalem
We have just done this tour, just out of Egypt, 7 months on road, will try to get to Limassol on Cyprus and then Turkey again on way back. Cyprus is probably as much worth a trip as all the other countries. Will let u know how this goes. Some inspiration? This Fab Trek - Photography and Journey.
click the last 5 or 10 stories, bar on right. Maybe the best I have done so-far.

One could go Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Egypt-Israel-Cyprus-Europe.
We crossed into Egypt from Israel at Eilat and then back into Israel after going to St Catherines on a trip (not in our own vehicle) in ~2003 that was mainly Israel.

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.
