I thought of that but dismissed it initially because these are technically seasoned international travelers, they were all leaving Jeddah and going home - they must have taken a flight to get to Jeddah, right?
Besides, they are all sitting in seats, they know how to sit, it's not a new learned behavior, unlike squatting over a hole would be for us.
However, your photo of the alternate toilet is convincing, and makes one wonder why the airline did not spec these in their order to Airbus.
