Jordan/Syria/Turkey-Parking
 

Hi All,
Sorry for the vagueness of the title, but basically I need to park up in one of these countries. We have to get the vehicle out of Egypt in January and leave it somewhere until we can finish our trip home in July/August.

So, the question are:

How long can we leave a car in any of these countries especially while we are not there?

Any possible parking locations known?

I tried emailing the Syria community and there are so many Turkish options I was n't sure where to start.

Any advice appreciated.

It sounds like you have answered your own question. Take it to Turkey (you can get there fast). Contact the HU community and the OMM club and you should be able to work it out.

TR customs are computerised. You may have to leave the bike in a customs compound. When you enter you sign a piece of paper undertaking to remove the vehicle from the country within a certain time.

you can leave it for 6 months in Turkiye. there is a small daily fee. there is one custom compund in Istanbul near Ataturk Airport.

Otherwise I can tell you the overland companies usually leave their trucks at Aqaba South beach in one of the campsites. The two mostly used campsites disappeared recently as the Aqaba authorities decides to build luxury hotels there, but there is still another camping a couple kms south where you can usually see Defenders, Landcuisers, Unimogs and the like on their overland stop at the Red Sea.

You can get Jordanian permit for 3 months, exceeding it will cost you 1JD (roughly 1,1 EUR per day on exiting the country.
