Any one been to Israel?
Went to both Jordan and Israel in October/Nov. There isn't much to see in Amman, but Petra is a must see. It's easy to cross over from Israel at the Aquba border in the south. If you're in the area, you should perhaps go to Egypt too -- it's a fantastic opportunity if you haven't been before. I really liked Israel -- we crossed over into the West Bank from Jordan on the King Hussein / Allenby Bridge with a bus full of Palestinians, which was an experience. Jerusalem is beautiful, and there are so many fantastic things to see. We also went to Ein Gedi, where the Dead Sea is. There's a very good IYH hostel there. The contrast between Israel and its neighbours is stark. Israel is very european in the context of the Middle East.

It was a good place to meet people, especially young ladies who enjoyed sneaking off to the date fields at night. When the Yom Kippur war started, they evacuated all the tourists, but the staff stayed behind. I spent a lot of time hiking up into Nahal David to the springs to watch the Ibyx play. That was the most peaceful time in my life, except when the F-14s would fly over on their way to the Golan. |

Is it true that if you have an Israeli stampt in your passport, you are unlikely to be allowed entry into most other Arab countries?? |

Some of the other Arab countries like Syria are likley to refuse you entry with an Israeli stamp. Depends what your circumstances are, but my passport runs out in 3 years, so I suspect I'll manage until I get a new one. |
