Sheeshah
...Hubble Bubble


A
common sight in the coffee houses throughout the Middle East is smoking hubble-bubble or “Sheeshah” which is their ancient culture.

The sheeshah is a water pipe used for smoking tobacco leaves. The tobacco leaves are kept on the upper dish which contains hot coals and a long hose is attached to the lower jar which contains water. The smoker inhales through the hose. The smoke of the tobacco leaves is cooled and filtered by the water in the lower jar before being inhaled by the smoker. Instead of the tobacco leaves dried fruits are also smoked by the sheeshah.
