Hookah history is rich and very controversial. It is said that the water pipe originated in India where it was made from coconut shells and then spread to Iran and into different parts of the Arab world
Hookah smoke isn't harsh or irritating like cigars and cigarettes. Flavored with fruit, molasses, and honey, shisha is a treat for the senses. Hookah smoking also requires us to pause and take a break from our hectic daily routine.
Preparing it isnt an easy job , but there are some places catered to such a hobby where everything is prepared for you .
The preparation is like followings -
Start by filling up the base with water so the water level reaches the bottom of the bottle neck. Next you'll want to insert the shaft into the base and secure the tray on top of the shaft. Place the bowl grommet over the top of the shaft and you're ready to set up the bowl.
Sprinkle the shisha tobacco into the bowl. Secure the bowl screen on top of the bowl or you can use tin foil that's been poked so there are small holes. Once the bowl has been packed, secure it onto the bowl grommet.
Lighting the charcoals is the last step. Use the tongs to place a lit charcoal on top of the bowl screen or tin foil, and then take a couple of puffs to get the hookah smoking. Leave a Comment

 beit nassif by TomorrowsAngel
King Abdulaziz requisitioned the house in 1925 while his palace was being constructed – hence the name of its location, King Abdul Historical Square. The King & his army were welcomed here by the people of Jeddah on 23 September 1924, celebrated every year since as National Day.
Note the tree in front of the house – until 1920 this was the only one in Jeddah (but now one of 10 million!).
In 1964 the government bought the house & converted it into a museum, now housing an interesting cultural & heritage exhibition.
Open Saturday-Thursday, 0900-1300. Admission free. Leave a Comment Directions: Halfway up Al Alawi St on the right.
