Prosecutor Soma Varapu said: ‘While she was drunk, he entered a room with her and sexually assaulted her.
‘He sucked her toe.’
In January 2024, Fahmy attacked four young tourists at the Anchor Guest Hotel in Golders Green.
When three women returned to the hotel in the early hours of January 20 without a room key, Fahmy demanded that one of them withdraw £80 from a nearby ATM to pay for a different room.
Once she complied, Fahmy let her into a separate room, where she fell asleep only to be awakened twice by Fahmy licking and sucking her toes.
Later that night, the fourth tourist returned and explained to Fahmy that he had lost his room key.
Fahmy took her to his bedroom and raped her.
The group moved to another hotel and contacted the police, leading to Fahmy’s arrest later that day.

He was remanded in custody pending sentencing on 20 September.
Detective Constable James Gomm, who led the investigation, warned that Fahmy could have claimed many more victims.
He said: ‘Fahmy displayed a clear pattern of offending where he abused his position as a hotel worker to approach his victims and carry out his crimes.
‘I would like to congratulate all the surviving victims for the courage they have shown throughout this investigation.
Some of the crimes in this case occurred several years ago and some surviving victims felt more able to support the investigation now that time had passed since their initial reports.
‘I do not for a moment underestimate the impact that reliving what happened will have had on those surviving victims and I want to thank them for supporting this investigation.
‘Her bravery has helped put a sex offender behind bars and protect other women.
“There may be other victims of Fahmy and if so, I urge them to contact the police immediately – we will listen to them and provide support.”
