People always say Sir. Welcome Sir, Yes Sir, Can I help you sir.
There is always a box of Kleenex (or Queenex) on the table at the restaurant. There is always a Napkin and flatware wrapped in a napkin placed at the table after you are seated.
You are asked if you want water at the restaurant, if yes, then its still or sparkling, next question is “room temperature or chilled”. They bring a liter bottle and pour it and come back and keep pouring it until it is gone.
There is a garden hose (so to speak) next to the toilet with a spray nozzle. It took me a while to figure out why. I’ll let you figure it out on your own.
Regardless of the garden hose there is a bidet – haven’t and probably won’t figure that one out.
The toilets don’t flush clean the first time through.
The switches are “European Standard”. Didn’t know that until an Architect explained to me that the switches are outside of the bathroom and the only outlet in the bathroom is a low voltage “shaver outlet”. The hair dryer is in a drawer in the bathroom and you have to turn on the electric from a switch outside of the room.
TV is limited to news – Al Jazerra, CNN, CNBC – Arabic and English, some channels like MTV, E and random network shows. Everything else is in Arabic. Some have told me it depends on the hotel or cable package you buy.
