Help - toilets in Dubai?

Posted by Ben on 15/2/2009, 11:03 am

Hi all,

I am planning a trip to Dubai next month and I'm trying to find out how AP friendly the toilets are there?

I am generally ok inside a toilet cubicle / stall (urinals are currently a no-no for me unless the bathroom is empty and no one else is likely to enter).

Has anyone been to Dubai and if so what is the toilet situation like in shopping the shopping malls, bars and clubs? I am going there for a friends stag do by the way so there will be plenty of drinking going on, hence my concerns.

I was hoping that, as it is a muslim country, they are more modest in their toilet-going attitudes and that there are more cubicles / stalls than you would find in the UK?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben

I do not know, but given that Dubai is all new build and no expense spared, and given that the Muslim states are very modest about things like that, there should be good quality loos.

Let us know when you get back

cheers

Andrew

Hi Ben,

Im with Andrew on this one with the reasons he pointed out. I have never been though so cant be sure.

I just asked my Sister and she said that most hotels are 5 star and everything is posh! The tourist places are very high standards, however towards the centre doesnt have the same high standards so to speak...

Have a read of this, its quite interesting:

Thanks for your replies guys, it sounds like the situation there is probably better than it is in the UK from an AP point of view. Will let you know how I get on!

Here is your answer you have been waiting for......

It one of the best places in the world for toilets. Many cubicles with full doors so you have total privacy.

Be aware some very high class hotels like the Burj Al Arab and busy upmarket night clubs will have toilet attendants. It scared the living S!?T out of me and was my worse nightmare at first, but build up your urgency before going and you will be fine. If I was really uncomfortable I would ask the attendant to leave the toilet area for 5 minutes. These guy’s are earning good money and can't do enough to help. I'm sure they would not mind if you asked. Enjoy the moment when they turn the taps on for you and pass you hand towels!! I felt like I had my own butler!!

Muslims like cubicles, I have never seen an Arab at a urinal!!

When are you going? If you want a list of good bars drop me an email.
