Freelance photographer and travel writer Paul Doyle (pauljdoyle. com) has been a frequent visitor to the Middle East since the mid-1990s, when he travelled to the Lebanese capital of Beirut to document the city's reconstruction following the 1975-90 civil war. From this trip, his interest in the region and Arab world burgeoned with numerous visits to Egypt, Israel, Libya, Syria and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan all serving to deepen his knowledge, passion and understanding of the culture, history and politics of the region - and resulted in him writing Bradt's travel guidebook to Lebanon. As a photographer, Doyle's images have appeared widely in the UK and overseas in newspapers, magazines and travel guides.
