| By Sylvia Smith BBC News, Ain Ek Misha |
A luxury coach heading in the direction of a remote, picturesque village in Tunisia is not an unusual sight.
But the bus on its way to Ain Ek Misha is not in the business of moving tourists about - its purpose is to educate rather than transport.
This bus, like many others, has been transformed into a mobile internet centre, and it travels around Tunisia teaching students of all ages how to log on, surf the net, and obtain information electronically that can help them in their studies and in finding jobs.
 These buses bring the internet to remote villages not tourists |
The coach is accompanied by an auxiliary pick-up van, carrying the satellite dish and stand.
Technician Yusuf Saeed is installing the dish just behind the bus.
He says that there are occasional natural barriers which can cause problems.
"When we encounter mountains, then it can take quite a bit of manoeuvring to get the connection."
