@khalilbarizi حمام
can be used in different ways too besides toilet, it can mean also
-bath حمام, take a bath يستحم
-swimming pool حمام سباحة
I'm sure there a couple more uses for it
دورة مياه
is intended for restroom only I think

@EurekaBits @amjadmakentosh .
إذا الأحسن استعمل 'حمام' أو 'دورة
مياه' ل'/BathroomToilet'؟
.
المثال: هو يذهب إلى الحمام لأن يستحم / يذهب إلى دورة مياه لأن يستحم؟

no one can يستحم in bathroom
but he can in الحمام
so if someone want to go toilet to make a shit or something better to say:
ذهب إلى دورة المياه ليقضي حاجته

@khalilbarizi
اعتقد انه سيكون طبيعي اكثر اذا قلت
هو ذاهب يستحم
و لكن ممكن ايضا تقول
هو يذهب إلى الحمام لكي يستحم
theoretically you could use both,
but again I think دورة مياه is associated to restroom and toilet rather than bathing and showering. I think mostly because when we think about restrooms, we think about those in public places like restaurants and so forth which don't generally feature baths

They are the same but (دورة مياه ) is more formal and polite!
also (دورة مياه ) exists at home, restaurants or on streets maybe ... Its size is not that big ... but ( حمام) can also be a special place where people go to prepare themselves for a special ceremony or party epically the prides.
