Sheesha

All over Egypt, men are smoking out of water pipes called a ‘Sheesha’ or a ‘Nargila.’ In America this is known as ‘Hooka.’ Sheesha is not the same as hasheesh. They smoke flavored tobacco out of the pipes, nothing mind altering. Everywhere you go crusty old men are smoking sheesha. Women do not smoke sheesha.

Being in Egypt, we had to do the cultural thing and smoke sheesha every night. It was pretty nice to chill out along the shore on some couches and drink beer and smoke out of a big pipe.
