Advice for documentary in Middle East
Hello!
Your expert advice is needed! I'm working on a documentary and we are due to film in the Middle East in the next couple of weeks. We have 2 weeks and will probably finish in Jerusalem. My producer wants us to visit Petra in the desert on the way. I have never ridden before, nor visited the Middle East, so I have some questions!
1. What is a realistic distance to cover in 14 days or per day on a motorbike?
2. I have read that some countries do not allow motorbikes - does anyone know any more about this?
3. If travelling through the desert, do you need specialist equipment on the bike, or is it possible to use one that will also cover roads as well as sand and rougher terrain?
4. What sort of permits/licenses would we require?
5. Is there anything else screamingly obvious I should be aware of?
Thanks very much for your help I look forward to your replies!
