’…. a good guidebook like PaulDoyle’s Lebanon is fairly essential because there is little information on the ground..– “londonglossy.com”

Paul Doyle is a freelance photographer and travel writer, born and raised in Hampshire, England. His youthful forays around the county were instrumental in nurturing his enduring interest in travel. Following a few years working in the aviation industry his earlier social science education, combined with his interest in photography, were key factors which led him to make his first visit to Lebanon to undertake a photographic project on the reconstruction of Beirut following the end of the 1975-90 civil war for his final year photography degree project. He was totally absorbed by the country’s intoxicating mix of people and the diversity of its geography and heritage and his interest in the region burgeoned and visits to Egypt, Jordan, Libya and Syria followed. But you rarely forget your first love and he has been a regular visitor to Lebanon since that initial venture in the mid-1990s with his photographs and articles from Lebanon, the region and beyond appearing in numerous national and international publications.
