Sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is a water pipe called Shisha or Nargile in Turkey. Smoking Nargile is Turkish past time.
Flavoured tobacco, for example apple which is a classic flavour, is wrapped in a foil and placed at the top bowl on top of hot coal. The smoke is drawn down to the base where cold water cools and filters it before it is inhaled.
Smoking Nargile is a social past time where friends get together in a cafe to relax. Each person is given their own plastic mouthpiece for hygiene purposes. When one person is done with smoking the Nargile, the hosepipe is placed on the table and the next person will pick it up.

They should be the same as in Egypt but they are all unique at the same time.
