Which Route from Dubai to Turkey?
I'm planning a solo trip from Dubai to the UK and want to travel via Turkey. It seems there are 2 broad options of routes. The most direct is north through Iran and into Turkey and the longer, more circular is south east via Oman and Yemen, through Saudi Arabia and through Jordan and Syria.
I'd really welcome any experiences that anyone can share about the relative merits of these two options. I am also very open to any alternative routes that anyone can suggest?
I am also looking for any practical tips about the requirements of a carnet de passage in these Middle Eastern countries, is it possible to get bike insurance for the whole of my trip (including onwards to the UK through Turkey and Eastern Europe), what are the issues with getting visas for some of these countries and has anyone experienced any difficulties in solo motorbike travel through these countries???
Cheers and thanks in advance for your assistance!
