A familiar sight throughout the Middle East and North Africa is the Hookah. This is a single or multi stemmed instrument for heating or vaporizing and then smoking either tobacco, flavoured tobacco or sometimes cannabis, hashish and even... opium. The smoke is passed through a water basin often glass-based before inhalation.
In the Arab world and throughout the Middle East people smoke hookahs as part of their culture and traditions. Social smoking is done with a single or double hose hookah and even triple or quadruple versions on occasion.
Smoking a hookah can be done at home privately or with company in cafes which are widespread social gathering places throughout the Arab world
