Middle East

Hello,
I am arriving to the airport in Tel Aviv around 22h30 at the end of the month. My hotel is in Jerusalem. I heard that there are taxis to share called Sheirut. It is easy to find? Is there other public transport at that time late in the night to go to Jerusalem?
In my stay I want to visit Bethlem, Jericho, Dead Sea,l Nazareth, Ramallah, Haifah... Is there possible to go to hese places by public transport?
Thanks

Hi. I'd like to hike/backpack in the Zagros mountains for 2-4 days.I'm a female traveling solo so would like to go with a guide or a group. Any recommendations? Most of the websites I've come across are for trips from Tehran. Also, I'm interested in visiting Palangan and Hawraman, so I was wondering if there was any good hiking around that area. Thanks!

Hello,

I am becoming more and more interested in visiting the Iraqi Kurdish region this November. I am wondering what the landscape will be like, as I will be visiting the first week in November. Will it still be green, or is this not a good time to visit for the natural beauty of Kurdistan?

Thank you for your responses!

Hi forum,

I have dual British and Israeli citizenship, I was born in and have lived in the uk all my life and feel British. I am planning a trip next year to Lebanon to work with refugees, and will go on my British passport. I have no stamps from Israel in there, no evidence of any trips etc. Is this a risky thing to do? Can it be found out that I have another passport? Any help appreciated as I have understood others have done this and it has been fine but just wanted to check.

Hello all:

Hello!

I'm considering a trip to Iran/Iraqi Kurdistan in Fall 2018. Wikitravel mentions there are buses that go from Tehran to Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, but I can't find too much information about them.

Would anyone happen to know details regarding such buses, i.e. what bus stations they depart from/arrive to, ticket purchase procedure/price, duration of journey, condition of buses, etc.? Trying to figure out how viable of a transportation option this is.

Another detail: I'm planning to do Visa…

Hi all,

I was looking at renting a car in Jordan and have come across some conflicting advice in regards to requiring an International Driving Permit to legally drive in Jordan.

Does anyone know if it's a legal requirement to have an International Driving Permit in order to rent a car in Jordan? Or, will a full, unrestricted UK driving license be sufficient enough? Unfortunately I've already left the UK (on holidays) so can't apply for one now :(

My research seems to suggest it's a…

Sorry, know there is a lot about the Jett bus already but wasn't sure if it was still up to date. I know you do not get the bus from abdali station but where should I get the bus from? And should I book online prior or just buy on the day? Herd that if you book online you still need to call the day before which seemed like a bit of hassle, but what would you recommend? Thank you very much!
