I have posted this question in one form or another on other threads, but haven't heard much response, so I will summarize my thoughts here.

The 'middle eastern' leg of my trip will be entering from Turkey to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and then Israel & Palestine, and I would like to go back out the way I came. I am clear on visa and other information for every leg of the journey except the last one.

Once in Jordan, I can obtain a double entry visa from the embassay in Amman, or possible when entering the country. This will be what I need when coming back via King Hussein Bridge which does not provide any visa's. When exiting Jordan at King Hussein Bridge, I will need to ask the border guards to put the exit stamp on a piece of paper, something which they may or may not do. I will have a quick letter translated into arabic stating my intentions, and will be as friendly as possible to increase my chances.

Once leaving Jordan, I will now be entering Israel where again, I will have to ask the border to put the entry stamp on a piece of paper. Here, I will have a letter translated into Hebrew stating my reasons, which this time will say that I plan on continuing my trip to other Arabic countries that will deny me entry etc, as well as my plans in Israel, where I will be staying etc. Again, I have to hope that they choose to do me a favour, and stamp the piece of paper.

All this will have to be done in reverse when exiting Israel via the King Hussein Bridge in order to assure that there is no written record of me being in Israel, or leaving Jordan when I get back up to Syria.

So, is there any limitation to doing this with your bike? What would be the difference if you were on foot? How comfortable are people with leaving their bike at a garage in Jordan, probably for over 2 months? Costs?

Does this scenario seem plausible if all goes smoothly. If I manage to get out of Jordan with the exit stamp on a piece of paper, but then am refused a stamp on paper when entering Israel, can I go back into Jordan? There is a valid reason to not want an Israel stamp on your passport - because you want to go to other arabic countries. But what valid reason is there for not wanting a Jordanian exit & entrance stamp in your passport? Will they not know right away what you are trying to do if you ask for the stamp on a piece of paper, and would they care in order to protect Syrian interests, or are they likely to be ok with it and stamp outside the passport.

I know this question has been asked, and I have read the information as well as called the embassy's for all 3 countries here in Canada, but I would really like to get concrete and more recent information. Again, thanks to all you wonderful Hubbers, this really is an amazing community. Hopefully if some of these questions are answered here, it can become a useful thread for others trying to go in and out of Israel via Jordan and Syria with their bike.
