Shisha Smoking Sessions at Traditional Bedouin Camps

Shisha Smoking Sessions at Traditional Bedouin Camps offer relaxing interludes during Dubai's 2026 desert safaris, blending modern leisure with Arabian majlis culture in Lahbab dune camps.

Shisha Origins and Setup
Shisha, or hookah, traces to 16th-century Ottoman safes where flavored tobacco (mu'assel) passes through water-filtered coals in ornate glass bases. Bedouin camps recreate communal hookahs with intricate brass heads, fruit-flavored tobaccos like double apple, mint, blueberry—mild and aromatic. Attendants pack, light, and refresh coals every 15-20 minutes for smooth draws.

Camp Relaxation Experience
Post-dune bashing and pre-BBQ (around 6 PM), low cushions surround shisha lounges amid lanterns and rugs. Sessions last 45-60 minutes, fostering conversations during golden hour sunsets. Non-tobacco herbal options cater to all; families opt for smoke-free zones nearby.

Flavors and Etiquette
Etiquette dictates right-side puffs, no direct exhales toward others, and sharing pipes communally—mirroring Bedouin unity.
