Palestine Travel Forum

Hi, salaam, shalo,peace everybody,

I planned this trip to birzeit university summner camp for two weeks which had been cancelled today for security reasons. i asked the organizator if they could find me spot to sleep so i would go anyway, they told me that they would arrabge a bed at the dorm on campus. so i am going anyway..

Tomorrow evening i am heading to Amman, after sepnding 6 days i wll go to palestine on the 26th. what is the best option to cross the border how to get from amman to ramallah, preferably without a stamp on the passport? where do you suggest to see in the region in 5 days?

on august 2nd i am planning to move forward to jerusalem, am i going to cross the border or what is going to happen? i made my reservations for jerusalem


and finally on the 7th i will go to ben gurion to fly back to turkey. my flight is 10.40 in the morning considering that i will be having been to palestine and jordan plus travelling alone plus different departure and arrival destinations like amman and tel aviv i will be subjected to a lot of questions. in this respect what time should i show up at the airport to catch my flight and what is the cheapest way to do so?

i am also open to any suggestions in general

thanks a lot

Hello,

While Jordan is likely to be safe, a trip to Ramallah probably isn't the best of ideas given the current situation. Security in Ramallah wasn't good before the current fighting, as is not likely to have improved.
That said, the only way to avoid an Jordan exit stamp is to go via King Hussein Bridge directly into the West Bank. You will have to ask the Israeli border guards not to stamp your passport - they honour the request most of the time, but not always.
If you don't plan on visiting Syria (or another Arab country except Egypt) soon, the Israeli stamp won't be a problem. Turkey has diplomatic ties with Israel and won't have any issue with Israeli stamps.

Have a safe trip !

Uk Embassy is advising against being in Jerusalem on the 3rd when religious demonstrations are planned , take extra care at this time
