Few experiences can match the sensation of getting out of a bathtub and snuggling into a soft, large, absorbent towel. You’ll find the experience even more exquisite if you wrap up in a towel made of pure Egyptian cotton. Although Egyptian bathroom towels are more commonly found in luxurious hotels and spas, there’s no stopping you from buying several pieces and enjoying them right in your own home.
Why choose Egyptian bathroom towels?
There are so many towels to choose from. Why go for Egyptian bathroom towels? The main reason to choose them is quality. This is the best choice for your family because it is far more durable than regular towels. Aside from being strong and long lasting, these towels are also more absorbent and can retain their deep, rich color for a longer period of time than ordinary towels. This isn’t because of some special technology used in making them. The nature of Egyptian cotton is what gives them their outstanding qualities.

What is Egyptian cotton?
Obviously, Egyptian cotton comes from Egypt. It is grown specifically in locations near the Nile River. These are ideal places to grow cotton because of the humidity and the fertile quality of the soil. Under these growing conditions, cotton from Egypt develops long fibers. These long fibers are approximately twice longer than other cotton fibers from around the world.
The added length is the secret to very fine threads. These in turn ensure maximum absorbency, softness and durability that exceed that of common cotton threads. These thread qualities are what you would expect from Egyptian bathroom towels as well. In addition, you can also expect these towels to stay richly colored for years. Because its fibers are highly absorbent, they also tend to take in the dye deeper and in greater quantities. You can therefore have beautifully colored towels even with long years of use.
What should I look for in an Egyptian bathroom towel?
There are two major points to keep your eye on when you shop for Egyptian towels:
1. It should come in one hundred percent Egyptian cotton.
It should go without saying that Egyptian cotton should come from Egypt. Before, it was hard to tell the real thing from imitations. Now, all you have to do to make sure you do get authentic pieces is to look for the tag with the right logo. This is the dark pyramid with the cotton plant. This is the one figure you should look for to make sure you benefit from a truly durable product.
2. Buy a thread count of at least 200.
In simple terms, a thread count is the number of threads that fit into a square inch. You can expect durable softness if you pick cotton fabrics that are within a 200 thread count. This number, plus the length of the fibers both contribute to extra softness. If you want a towel that is even softer, pick one that has an even higher count.
Where should I look for them?
You’ll find no trouble looking for Egyptian bathroom towels even if you aren’t in Egypt. This is mainly because they have become so popular that many stores now sell them in their home and bath sections. For your greater convenience, you can also buy your towels from the internet. This is a good option if you want more colors to choose from.
