Maybe you didnt notice, there are many more STRANGE and WEIRD things about that place (including the inhabitants), not just the airport toilets. Those other strange things make the weirdness of airport toilets looks insignificant.
Im glad that you returned with your own brain still in place. Do not risk re-visiting, though.
AIRPORT are STRANGE.
They are already filled to nearly the top with hot water b4 u use them,
They have a mind of their own and flush themselves without warning.
The flush is upside down, the water rises from the bottom (no pun intended!) up.
Actually there was a similar post quite some time ago… (I’m a quiet observer of gup ahem) ppl like Cat woman and others shared their ‘all over the world’ experiences with the ‘darn atak-matak utilities’ but that thread must be fossilized by now
The observation is quite rite however the rush at the airport and not enough facilities are also the reason. The new Emirates Airline dedicated terminal is ready and probably it will make a difference on rush and number of passengers are tranferred to new place.
