With, some samples to discuss!  First,

According to some, Mark's geography was not always accurate, for example Mark 7:31, describing Jesus going from Tyre to the Sea of Galilee by way of Sidon (20 miles farther north and on the Mediterranean coast). The author of Mark did not seem to know that one would not go through Sidon to go from Tyre to the Sea of Galilee, and there was no road from Sidon to the Sea of Galilee in the 1st century, only one from Tyre.[81][82] Catholic scholars have interpreted this passage as non-problematic since Jesus would have traveled in a wide circle, first north, then east and south.[83]

Mark 7:31 Then He returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Decapolis. This verse says He was in the region of Tyre which could have easily put Him near Sidon which is only 30 miles from Tyre, he could have been closer and probably was since He traveled back to Sidon which He previously left to go to the region of Tyre as explained in Mark 7:24. The region of Decapolis is on the south east side of the Sea of Galilee and it would make sense for Jesus to travel toward Damascus and pick up the main road into Decapolis. Much less mountain terrian. You are assuming that we know all the little roads that were used in those days, many are lost forever to us and besides it would seem unlikely there would not be a road from Sidon to Damascus. A road from Sidon to the Sea of Galilee was not needed since Tyre set only 30 mile away but this road would have taken Jesus to the north western side of the Sea of Galilee and His intended destination was the southeastern side of the sea. Like I said there was a major road to Decapolis from the region of Damascus.

 
And, Luke:

In Acts 21:38, a Roman asks Paul if he was 'the Egyptian' who led a band of 'sicarii' (literally: 'dagger-men') into the desert. In both The Jewish Wars[98] and Antiquities of the Jews,[99] Josephus talks about Jewish nationalist rebels called sicarii directly prior to talking about The Egyptian leading some followers to the Mount of Olives. Richard Pervo believes that this demonstrates that Luke used Josephus as a source and mistakenly thought that the sicarii were followers of The Egyptian.[100][101]

This proves nothing, it's speculation at best. The sicarii were Assyrians, that is according to the Roman who asked Paul the question.
