It's no problem to go from Israel to Jordan without getting a stamp, but not with a bike. So if you want to ship your bike, I would have done to Jordan.

I just got the idea to go that way myself next summer... so just to reconfirm:
- Syria
- Lebanon
- Jordan
- Israel
- Cyprus
are all possible, if done in that order? And no carnet needed for any of these?
Egypt has that mandatory & very expensive carnet, so at the moment looks like I´ll save it for another visit. Will have about 1 month for the whole trip (from Finland), so not possible to go everywhere. May even put the bike on a truck to Greece or Turkey, to get some more time to spend in the region. Never done the Turkish coast either, and I believe that is also well worth doing?
It probably gets damn hot in June/July? I´m afraid I wont have a lot of options regards the timing of the trip.
