Despite being an extremely
computer literate society,
there are few internet cafés in
Israel. This is possibly
because most Israeli families
have internet access of their
own at home. There are only
a few internet cafés in Jerusa-
lem, and a handful dotted
around the country. Jordan
has an excellent
internet venue,
books@cafe
, located
in central Amman.
There are further
internet cafés in
Jordan at Wadi
Musa (Petra),
Madaba and
Aqaba. In Sinai
the internet is
available at many hotels and
there is an internet cafe near
the Fayrouz Hilton in Sharm
el-Sheikh. Internet services
are also offered at various
shops in Dahab. Online
time is usually charged by
the half hour.
