The hookah tradition, dating back at least 500 years, originated in the Middle East regions of the world. Countries cited for the first use include Egypt, India, and Turkey. It is a favorite activity here in Dubai!
For those who don't know, a hookah is a water pipe used to smoke tobacco through cooled water. The tobacco is heated in the bowl at the top of the hookah and the smoke is filtered through the water in the base of the hookah. There are a variety of shisha flavors including apple, plum, coconut, mango, mint, and strawberry (this one was watermelon I believe.)
In my opinion it is best enjoyed with a cup of turkish coffee...
