She spent a few months in Malta then a year in Constantinople before moving on to tour Syria and the Holy Land. "She travelled in style made lavish gifts to pashas and others in authority and arrogated to herself the right to do very much as she pleased. She was warned that when she reached 'fanatical' Damascus she must wear a veil and conform to convention in other ways but this she refused to do. Unveiled tall and impressive in her Turkish male clothes she entered the city on horseback and made a great sensation" DNB. A few months later she became the first European woman to visit Palmyra.
