I know it's environmentally (and politically?) correct. It's probably more sanitary and maybe easier than paper…once you get used to it. One expat wife said she found the spray "refreshing." But I wonder…
How to dry off before pulling up your…well, you know. Drip dry, perhaps? Have you ever squatted over a hole waiting on an air-out?
I search the stalls for something familiar:
Is the wet seat a product of the previously mentioned sanitary spray or something less appealing?
What would you do?
I place my feet in the marked position and send up a prayer of gratitude for gym lunges. I assure you the device is architecturally sound as everything goes straight down the hole. Perhaps it IS more sanitary, I think.
And then…I drop my keys.
Back at the Pearl…there are options:
Potty, paper, spray…and a little bottom sink.
What would YOU do?

They all look clean and at least there are stalls--no pics of community facilities with a dozen or so holes available? We are spoiled. GrMaMa
Ah those were the days. I remember them well! I particularly remember the Fayoum in the town square and using the community toilet (co-ed)! And then there was Ed Fou, where we were given the only room with a toilet en suite--no one had ever cleaned it. Great adventure you are having daughter!
"Ed Fou"? Where was that? At the dig I joined there was a plain old hole in the ground (no feet) and a bucket of water for "flushing" and..."whatever."
Most places are pretty modern here - but all the bathrooms seem to have options like this (usually WITHOUT paper...).
