Israel / Jordan

[straatvark]

Hi

 

Anyone with recent (or historic) experience of MTB in Israel or Jordan? Just an idea at this stage, but safety/routes are unclear.

 

The following look cool, but might be a bit expensive:

Is this something one can attempt alone? (and not dying of thirst in the desert?)

 

Any feedback/advice would be appreciated

Thanks Kranswurm, I emailed people in Israel.

 

Passport is about the biggest reason for looking at Israel - one of the few countries that don't require visa's for SA's. (...long story..passports full.. can wait up to 6 months when ordered via embassy...)
