Amsterdam to Melbourne 2014
Hi, I am planning to ride my BMW F800GS from Morocco to Dubai starting February 2014. I just wonder what would be the best route to travel from Eqypt to Jordon, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and UAE.
I believe it is very difficult to get visa for riding motorcycle in Suadi Arabia. Is it easy to get visas for other countires?

Hi Channey
thanks for your enquiry
about traveling from Egypt to Jordan, there is a ferry line between those 2 point and its easy to book and load your bike.
as Saudi is in the middle of GCC you will only have the option of fright the bike from Jordan to UAE then ride to Oman.
you will not be able to enter Qatar because saudi is having a land between UAE & Qatar.
i wish i clear the point, glad to answer any other questions
Regards
Saleh From Dubai

You are very kind Dubai355. I found the 2xwheeler.com page a month ago but after sending them some emails I obtained no answer. I'll try it again. In case they don't answer me, should I phone him?.

hi there,
i'd like to have some tips as I'm planning a trip to Iran, with end in UAE for ship out the bike and fly back
I'm ok with shipment, just need some tips about reliability of ferries in the gulf and possibility of a temporary insurance in UAE (no more than 3 day riding)
you can also PM me so we don't bother other riders
