I am a Filipino who wants to visit Israel as tourist this May. Am i allowed to enter Israel if my passport has a mideast visa stamped on it ssince i am working in Saudi. I heard that it is difucult for me to visit if my passport has a saudi visa stamped. I will be going back to saudi after my visit. I plan to stop over to Ammam before going to Israel. Please advise, THank you.

It's not a problem to get into Israel with any VISA from any other country. They might question you a bit longer in security but this is it. Only, if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport it will be impossible for you to enter some Arab countries. I know for sure that Syria and Lebanon wouldn't let you in in such a case, I don't know about Saudi Arabia. You should ask the people at the airport to give you the stamp on a separate piece of paper.

I am a Filipino working here in Dubai, I am planning to visit Israel  for the first time and from July 3-August 3, 2009. Since there's no direct flight from Dubai to Israel, I am going to JOrdan first, then is it true that I can take a Bus from Jordan to Israel, and Israel to Jordan without putting a stamp on my passport? I need to go back to work again  in Dubai after visiting the Holy land.. and I want to ensure that my passport will be stamped free!

Please advise..

If Dubai won't let you in with an Israeli stamp ( and I don't know about that--check it out) you will have a problem. Even though Israel will stamp a piece of paper, your passport will show a Jordanian stamp at the Israeli border. It will be obvious to the Dubai authorities where you have been. It is my understanding that Jordan will NOT stamp a piece of paper. You need to verify that with Jordan.
