There is another Middle East one - but it is more sparse on all of the countries. Israel is a separate book, and so is Jordan. Jordan and Syria used to be in one book, but that was a few years ago. You could consider buying by the chapter online. | Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #3 61 days ago, September 28th 2009 | That Middle East one seems like a good idea. I just use them loosely anyway, and I like to have one that covers a bunch of countries, so I can read about other countries besides the one I am going to, for inspiration, and I might even end up crossing a border to a country I didnt intend to go to, on my trip. | Thanks Shane! :) Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #4 39 days ago, October 21st 2009 | Anyone know if the MiddleEast Lonely Planet covers Turkey? | The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1036 Msg: #5 38 days ago, October 21st 2009 | Yes. | Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #6 38 days ago, October 21st 2009 | Ah cool! Thanks Shane. :) | Looks like I will be travelling overland through Turkey and then entering Syria via land border. Hopefully, I will get a visa on arrival, because getting one from a consulate is looking more and more complicated. And travelling overland from Turkey to neighbouring countries seems much less expensive than flying directly to those countries. That is what I should have done with Iran. The flight to Iran cost 700 Euros return. Do you know of anyone who was refused a viasa at the Syrian border? Judging by some comments I read, they are pretty easy about handing out the tourist visas at the land borders. hythloday thomas more Post Count: 1 Msg: #7 18 days ago, November 11th 2009 | hi, | I have never heard but if u visited Isreal before and if u have not changed your passport yet , it's possible indeed not possible it will be exactly rejected ... only careful about it...otherwise there will be no problem ;) have nice trip... pc : if u have questions about Turkey and Syria ( last year I went to syria,jordan &lebanon and I live in Turkey in other words if u have questions, I can help u... Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #8 17 days ago, November 11th 2009 | As far as I know, you can ask the Israeli immigration not to put the stamp in your passport, to prevent problems when entering Syria, Iran etc. | The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1036 Msg: #9 16 days ago, November 12th 2009 | Yes, that is correct - ask nicely and they will place it on the entry card or something similar instead of in your passport. | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 9 | |||||||||||||||||
