Last November I went on a photography holiday to Syria with a company called Frui holidays. It was a fantastic trip because I was able to practice my photography in some truly amazing locations such as Palmyra, Krak des Chevaliers and Aleppo. I was also looked after from start to finish by the tutors and guides so I'd also like to recommend Frui holidays.

It's great that you've mentioned Frui. I went to Italy with them last year on a painting holiday. Loved it. Selwyn was my tutor and he really opened my eyes to seeing the world in a more artistic way.
Is this your business?
