The Hookah culture is huge here in Dubai and across the Middle east, especially in Egypt. it goes by many names, shisha, argila, hookah to name a few.
there is no such thing as a shisha cafe here, every restaurant has a shisha smoking sectionl. usually after dinner.
as far as health is concerened, ive read that one session is equivelant to 80 cigarettes. thats when i decided to give up smoking it socially. i havent had one in 8 months now.
they are quite popular with westerners here and everybody does it. tobacco is extremely cheap here because of the lack of tax in this place so smoking is very popular.
there are anti smoking laws gradually coming into place and the shisha trend here is under threat...looks like the shisha culture in under threat in the middle east..who would have thought
