Overland to the Red Sea
I'm in the very early stages of planning a trip, 6 weeks from Belgium, France, Italy ferry to Greece, Turkey, Syria and Jordan (ONE WAY). I would like to go late next year around September / October.
Will 6 weeks be long enough ? I would like to spend 1 week rest in Greece / Turkey and 1 week rest at the Red Sea, the wife would come out to join me.
I'm budgeting €50 per day including camping / low budget hotels, is this suffice. Any approx idea of the KM's. The plan would be to ship the bike back to Antwerp any advise on the best departure port. Should I go onto Egypt say Alexandria or should I ship it from Israel ?
I was once told of restrictions getting passport stamps into one country and not accessing another, however I don't remember which Israel into Syria maybe...... I've ready Chris Scots book but he doesn't go into ME in any depth, can anyone recommend decent books. I have the relevant Lonely Planets
Should I get visa's before departure or at the boarders?
Sorry, lots of questions........
Kind regards
Matt
