Aynal-MirHaaD, or Aynal-Hammam?
The first word 'MirHaD' is more classical and it must be understood all over the Arab world. The second word (Hammam) is quite common in many Arab countries.
On a lighter note: you can ask: Wayn (where is ) it-Twalaat (toilet)?

First answer is "right on;" here's a Gulf Arabic variant
Greetings / tahaiya tayyiba wa b3ad...
The first poster is correct in his responses.
FWIW, a local variant in eastern Saudi Arabia and other Arabian Gulf states uses a different preposition:
"fain al-Hamaam?"
also "fain al-tuwaaliit?"
(heard mostly in the coastal cities in the "lower Gulf" region)
