Hi all members!!
I will be travelling from London to Tel aviv on the 13th of december for 3 weeks. I wish to visit Israel, then go to Amman from Jerusalem, then either from Aqaba crossing to Eilat, then Taba to Dahab, or by ferry from aqaba going to nuweiba. I know it is possible to avoid israeli stamps in tel aviv airport and Eilat, but what about in Jordan (Allenby bridge) and Egypt (Taba or Nuweiba)? I am quite concerned because I have a new french passport and I would lke to go to Syria and Lebanon next year. So, as I know it is possible to avoid israeli stamps by asking the customs to stamp it on a piece of paper. Is it possible to do the same with jordanian customs. So, basically if the isrealis and the jordanians stamp in and out in a different piece of paper if asked? I will be entering with King hussein bridge, so no real problem. But I will be leaving from either Aqaba port or by land going to Eilat. Then, entering to Egypt from Nuweiba if I catch the ferry or by land crossing from Taba. As it is possible to go to Egypt with a french ID, I have phoned the french embassy and it is possible to go Egypt with a french ID card only, then the problem for any exit or entry stamps by Jordan (if jordanian don't stamp me out in Aqaba port or by crossing the border to Israel) and Egypt doesn't exist, I am right? Also, if I leave Israel to go to Jordan then I have to pay the israeli exit tax ($23), then leaving Jordan to Eilat, I will have to pay the Jordanian exit tax as well (how much?), and then leaving Israel to enter Egypt from Taba to go to Dahab only, I will have to pay again the israeli exit tax. And later, leaving the Sinai, I will also the egyptian exit tax. So my question is, wouldn't it be possible to pay only once the israeli exit tax? And if not, wouldn't it be cheaper to catch the ferry from Aqaba and go to Nuweiba, then catch a bus to go Dahab? Thanks a lot for your help!!! |
