I've traveled east and west, and I came to realize that we Arabs are blessed with many things..like alot of natural resources like oil,Gold..etc but best of it all >>>shatafaas>>>Arabs, who, for religious reasons, favour the more direct approach to personal hygiene over the wishy-washy bidet. we used to have ajaneb/foreigners coming over to Damascus,Syria and they were finding themselves confronted with an odd looking hose contraption with a metallic nozzle when they visit the toilet. from the land of uncle sam,But before they start miming their best Robbie Williams impersonation in front of the bathroom mirror with the fake 'microphone', they might like to know what this implement is. It's a shatafa, or to put it bluntly, a bum cleaner, and is the latest weapon in the five-star hotel's battle to win more high-spending Middle Eastern customers.

they never seen anything like it, they'd think it is a water foutain, some thought we are so thoughtful we have a bathtub for our pets.

... one thing I didn't like though was the hole they dig in the ground and they call it 7amam 3arabi..when I was a lil kid it was a nightmare to go to one of those 7amams for some reason I always thought a jardoon/rat wil come out of that hole.

While bathrooms here in the U.S were never designed to accomodate a shatafa..some bright dude came up with shatafaat al najaa7.. buy one today!! shayef ya 3abdullah/Caarab I gave a solution this time! :P haha here is the URL: www.arabtoronto.com
