Internet

Internet access is still rare in the oases, even in hotels. You may find a couple of small Internet cafés in each town, but most are one-machine affairs in the backs of coffee shops. Many connections are still dial-up, so systems are slow and unreliable. Prices are around £E10 to £E15 for one hour.
