Why are small towels (like napkins) placed next to the sink?
In hotels, along with bath towels and those for hands and face, small towels (about 30 by 30 cm) were changed every day. They folded them with an envelope or something else on both sides of the sink on the "countertop".
I used them to wipe drops of water from this very "countertop". But I'm not sure if I used it...
Can anyone tell me what they are really for? ))

Well, actually, for the face. Those small ones that we call "for hands and face" are actually only for hands :)))

And we didn't do anything with them. On the first day, I don’t know what was there, but on the second day, these very napkins-towels were laid out near the sink and everything was put on them: men’s accessories, dental, my creams, in short, everything that was in the bathroom in travel cosmetic bags, everything were neatly displayed and laid out on them.
By the way, this is in the first country, in the first hotel I meet this.

Why napkins then?

Sorry - but these towels (about 30 by 30 cm) - are intended to be dried after washing one place (Arabs do not use toilet paper at all, they wash and dry themselves)

In case you haven't noticed, the toilets either have a bidet, or a small hose with a faucet for washing is attached to the tank.

Then why did they put all the toiletries on them? On your own initiative?
Usually, no one touches personal belongings in hotels, but here everything was laid out, and so were friends in the room.
And near the bidet on the wall there is a small hanger, there were other towels, a little more. Well, it’s clear why, they were also for the hands and for the shower, and for the legs, so square, we just laid it on the floor when leaving the shower, like a rug. In other countries, there were also such square towels, we already kind of knew why.
In general, there were no problems with towels in Dana, instead of 2 for a shower, they can give 3.

@papa74
I looked at the pictures, no, this was not the case in our hotel. (Dana Beach) there was ordinary toilet paper around.

I showed the photo to my husband, and he used to work in my hotel, he said that it was either for the hands or for the face, I tell him, or maybe it’s to use after washing, I’m sorry, he said if someone wants it’s not a problem, but as a rule this is for the face and hands. And not all hotels provide these towels.

So the guide Hosem played a prank on us, but he spoke very convincingly.
And he also told his story that happened to him in Ukraine (he studied at the institute, and was invited to visit a friend) - how he was looking for a small towel.

nadin65, my husband, having arrived for the first time in Ukraine and not finding a faucet at the bottom of the barrel, almost cried, but I didn’t know how to explain to him that science hasn’t reached this point in our country yet :)

Hotels did not seem to be made for Arabs?
аватар nadin65
Recently, more and more Arabs with families come to rest for the weekend in hotels.
And if you are talking about BIDE, then civilization has only reached Russia and Ukraine, and even then it is not very widely used.
I found an interesting article about plumbing and its use in our country.

towels for the face and hands =) and the Arabs either use a hose or put a "mug" =))))))) but they are already leaving this a little bit.

I also always thought it was for hands, instead of napkins.
аватар musiknew
This is a type of disposable for hands. They wipe their hands and throw them into the basket.
аватар Krasotas
I mean the towels that are in the bathroom in the room and not in the public areas! You can’t throw them in the basket)) They just change them along with all the other towels daily.
аватар Krasotas
Added a photo today. I don’t know if your page will open, but here is a photo of exactly those towels that I am asking about.

"How to behave in "foreign" countries ;)" - You need 82 provisions for this case! No. 72, 79 and 82 aroused my special attention;)
