Middle East Visa Game

While checking out the NY Times Travel section on Sunday I noticed a very interesting question in the Q&A department. It pertained to traveling around the Middle East with an Israeli stamp in your passport. It does limit your ability to go to some countries such as Syria or Lebanon. Fortunately for me the Jordanians have no problem with it as I learned on my first trip there. I now know that I have two options in dealing with my filled up US Passport, instead of just getting pages added I may qualify for a second one. It costs $67 and is good for two years. However with a Jordanian stamp in it I still couldn’t cross over to Syria. Sounds like a possible board game to me!
