The road to Damascus

I was lucky enough to go to Syria earlier this year, to write about an Iraqi wedding in Damascus for G2. As well as staying with an Iraqi family and experiencing Arab culture from within, I also took the opportunity to explore the fascinating, ancient city of Damascus. I’ve written an article on the highlights of Damascus, now up on the Guardian Travel site.

Stay tuned for more on Syria – I took a wonderful side trip up to the Krak des Chevaliers and Hama that I’m yet to blog about. I might also publish a follow-up on the bits that didn’t make the final cut for my feature on Damascus. Don’t forget to subscribe!
