Anyone any thoughts ons the develloping situation between Syrai and Libanon. Libanon mobilzed it full army after the recent bomb attack in Beiroet.
We are planning a trip to Jordan (crossing Syria and possibly Libanon) in april. Not yet changing any plans, but keeping an eye on things.
If anyone has any info on local regions to avoid, please pass it on.

I'll be there in June so I look forward to hearing whether you can cross!
Just when Israel vs Palestine seems to be settling down, this happens next-door!

Looks like we wont be alone there. We'll be leaving Belgium May 15, hoping to cross into Syria May 22.
We plan two weeks to ride around Syria and Jordan. So crossing back into Turky around June 8.
Might be worth to stay in close contact concerning bordercrossings? Wich are 'easy' wich are 'harder'...
Anyone interested to meet up somewhere?

Hi there all .
I'm located in Saudi Arabia - Riyadh and I belive the situation is ok between lebanon and syria .. if you are coming from Turkey you can come directly to syria unless you want to see lebanon.
for madam .. you said you will let people know about your updates ... and since last time .. it was that you are crossing saudi arabia .. if you needed any help or coming by Riyadh drop me a line let me show you around. other wise if things are ok .. please lets know.
Regards,
