This Week in Palestine - Websites review
Issue no. 35  - March 2001
 
 
Al Buraq
This is the information website of the Palestinian Telecommunication's Company (PalTel).This site is written in Arabic and contains some really useful and relevant content and services to Palestinian users. News is updated daily as well as five-day weather forecasts for major Palestinian cities. The best service the site offers is Palestinian white pages and yellow pages (I actually found my home phone number on it). The site also offers free email service as well as chat forums and e-greeting cards and Arabic-English dictionaries. In terms of design, Alburaq.net can greatly improve its look by re-structuring its front page to be less cluttered and through unifying the fonts (I counted at least 8 different Arabic fonts on the front page)and devising a more friendly color scheme.Overall,Alburaq.net is definitely worth visiting for its content and services.
