Before going to Israel, he stopped in Egypt, the first Kremlin leader to do so in 40 years.

In the above, can I use the words below instead of 'stopped in'?

1.stopped in at , 2.stopped by, 3.stopped by at
4.dropped in, 5.dropped in at, 6.dropped by
7.dropped by at, 8.dropped into

Thanks.

Hello again - The alternatives you listed are used when talking about visiting someone or a shop, etc. You could say "he made a stop in Egypt".
