Will I have internet access?

Yes. Every room at the St. Elias Hostel is equipped with free internet access. You need to bring an ethernet cable to plug into the network. Additionally, there is an internet cafe located onlu a few doors down from the Hostel and numerous internet cafes in the Old City of Damascus. Internet access everywhere in Syria is fickle, but checking your e-mail, posting your trip photos online and sending messages to friends and family back home will be a relatively hassle-free process.
