In this section you'll find our shisha pipes, hookah pipes, nargilehs, waterpipes, galyons, argilehs or whatever they may be called around the world, categorized by their country of origin. Although long ago the hookahs from various countries were distinctly different in the ways they combined their components, eventually some concensus developed - nowadays the differences are mainly stylistic.

 

Especially Egypt and Syria produce lots of sheeshas that are always abundantly available via eBay, other countries are less often represented here. Nevertheless it's definitely worth your while to check all countries every now and then (including "Various provenance") - you don't want to miss out on a bargain on account of having been unaware of its existence! When browsing this site you'll notice that several items appear in more than one place... which makes sense when you consider that hookahs can, for example, be 25 inch long and Egyptian (grin)!
