Egyptian houses didn't have bathrooms. Sometimes people just left the house and went to the edge of the village when they had to go. Sometimes they used a chamber pot inside their house, and then emptied it later outside the house. Some people had an outhouse built into a corner of their courtyard. There wasn't any water inside the house either. People sent their kids or slaves to the village well to draw up buckets of water and bring them back to the house for baths or for drinking or cooking. (Kids and slaves both hated this job!)
