Do Egyptian hotels have toilet paper?

Toilets. Broadly speaking there aren't many public toilets in Egypt and so it's not unusual to use one in a hotel or restaurant even if you're not a paying customer. As you might expect, toilet paper is rarely provided except occasionally when a toilet attendant may give it to you for a small cost.

Besides that, the plumbing in Egypt isn't always set up to accommodate balls of toilet paper. Egyptians prefer to use a shatafa, a little bidet sprayer, which may be attached to the toilet bowl or the wall via a small hose. A knob allows the user to turn on the spray of water and get things nice and clean down there.
