I'm trying to gather info on the middle east. A gentlemen traveling from Scotland said that he was asked for one at every Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, but officially it is only recommended and not required. This means that you have to buy temp insurance as well as a temp carnet for these countries, but NO big cash deposit?
My plans were to continue through Egypt and back to Europe via Northern Africa, but I am now re-thinking that. I am on a bit of a tight budget, and my Canadian carnet costs over $600. As much as I want to see Egypt, I may loop down into the middle east and back out the way I came, or perhaps ferry across to Greece...?
While were on the subject, is it possible to re-enter Jordan from Israel if you have a double entry visa, or to head up to Lebanon and leave Israel there. All these countries seem to instantly deny you entry if you have an Israel stamp, or seemingly if your coming from Israel, which is why I planned to exit to Egypt. Thoughts? Thanks
