Travel implications when going to Muslim countries after a visit to Israel

I would like to visit Israel, but I have heard that if you visit some Muslim countries, they won't let you in, and visa versa.

Does it depend on which Muslim countries? I imagine there would be different policies say between Egypt and Iran. Does the order of visit matter? How can 'they' tell you have been to a particular country, is it by the stamps in your passport or what?

I am on a New Zealand passport.

I have visited Malaysia and Indonesia (Bali) in the past (with a stamp in my current passport)

I would like to visit Israel.

I would like to visit the following Muslim/Middle eastern countries:

Egypt, Jordan (Petra), Turkey, Malaysia again.

Best Answer

Israel's immigration allows you to stamp in a piece of paper ( outside the passport ), so if you want to travel to other Arabian countries, their immigration will not get the Israel's immigration stamp in your passport.

Check this blog about Israel's Passport Stamping Policy.

I never heard any problem entering Israel after visiting Bali / Malaysia.
