SHISHA
What is Shisha? An Introduction to the Traditional Middle Eastern Experience at Rakkas Lounge
The Origins of Shisha
Shisha, also known as hookah or waterpipe, has deep historical roots in Middle Eastern culture. Originating in India and Persia, it was designed as a method to cool and purify tobacco smoke through water. Persian physician Abul-Fath Gilani is credited with refining the hookah during the Mughal era, transforming it into a social and cultural tradition that spread across the Persian and Ottoman Empires.
Cultural Significance
In Middle Eastern communities, smoking shisha is more than a habit—it’s a social tradition that fosters connection. Friends and family gather around a hookah for hours, sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company. At Rakkas Lounge, we embrace this tradition, offering a welcoming space where guests can relax and experience the communal spirit of shisha smoking.

Health Considerations & Responsible Enjoyment
While shisha is a cherished tradition, it’s important to acknowledge the health considerations. Despite passing through water, shisha smoke can still contain harmful substances.
