I havent been there, but Ive heard others who have
As long as you are not travelling on an Israeli Passport or were born on Irael, they dont care. Even if you were in Israel, they dont care
Just an FYI, Israel does not stamp passports anymore, they give you a card that you need to return when you leave the country.
The way countries like Lebanon know you were in Israel is if you have a visa stamp at border crossings between either Jordan and Israel or Egypt and Israel.
If you want to go to Lebanon, you cant bring Tfillin or anything with hebrew writing and you need another passport (The US and EU countries will give you a second passport for this purpose)
Rabbi of Crawley-That is awesome! I have never been there and can give you no advice but that is a place I have wanted to go visit. Such a pretty place. I’m obviously scared to go because it is a Muslim country. Are you going for pleasure or for business? Are you not afraid?
Ive been to 2 Muslim Countries Egypt and Jordan. Different experiences in Both. Very positive in Jordan and ok in Egypt (Just border guard was a jerk)
They even take Shekles in Jordan(They give you a bad rate for them though)
I only speak english in a Muslim country (Obviously I have an american accent) so I pass for an american
I was in Petra, The tour guide showed us where Aaron is buried (Its high on a mountain)
We loved Petra, It was pretty awesome there, just have to watch out as the bedoins are all trying to sell you something, they all want money
