Jordan - Egypt - Sudan
Looking on some quick options if I wont go to algeria :-(

If I travel from jordan-egypt there is this tiny little bit of israel and when I will travel to Sudan, that might be a problem in my passport because of ISrael stamp.

Can this be done a different way ore how is it done by all the eastern riders??

There is a car ferry which runs from Aqaba (Jordan) to Nuweiba (Egypt) which means you won't get the Israeli stamp. Takes about five hours.

I'm not sure if an Israeli stamp is a problem for Sudan anyway - however you're better not to have an Israeli stamp in your passport - if your plans change again at least you have more options.

I am told that you can ask for the Israeli stamp to be put on a separate piece of paper which you can hide before entering other countries. Obviously, the neighbouring authorities can see where you came from as you approach their border crossing, but I doubt other countries would spot which border crossing you'd used and thereby deduce that you'd come via Israel.
I was told to ask for the separate piece of paper BEFORE handing over my passport. I guess it might matter whether you need a visa or not.

This is correct but Syria for one are wise to this and won't let you in if you've got an exit stamp from the corresponding border post in Jordan/Egypt. Best stay clear if you don't want hassle.

Hi, if you go to Israel then you can forget going to the Sudan, The visa is difficult enough anyway.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
