Chunky-Cheese Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Hey! I'll be going to Israel in a month from now and one of the main reasons for my visit there is because of the hookahs. Anybody here from Israel who knows where to buy hookahs with great quality with a not so pocket-ripping price tag? Hehehe! I would really appreciate the help. Thank you so much!

Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Can't tell you for certain but I've heard you should stay away from the tourist oriented shops and shopping areas as they will charge way more, and ALWAYS HAGGLE you gotta be willing to walk away from what you want if the price is unreasonable. Lemme know where you go/what you find since I might be going there next summer and would love some inside info. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrShisha Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If the sole purpose of you going Israel was hookah related then you should have gone Egypt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also serve at our local embassy there. I'm also going to go to Egypt just for kicks so i would probably have lots to choose from. Can I buy KMs in Israel?

TizaNabi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hi,If you are comming all that way just for good hookahs forget it. The prices are cheaper but we only get the knock offs from China and India almost all of stainless steel. What you can get in premium hookahs are only the ones online in America.With that, I am satisfied with them.The whole Arab world also buys from them unless they do go online and ship from the USA.The best place in Jerusalem is suprisingly not the Arab market anymore. They were once but few stall stores sell and if they do they carry only at most 8 if not less designs.The store "Siam" is on Yafo street number 46 off of King George street. They have a very large selection of hundreds of kinds and sizes. If you smoke and have a problem you can return it. The shisha availability is 10 packs of Nakhla 4o grams each for 40 shekels. The shekel is stronger for a while now against the dollar at 3.5 approx. shekels to a dollar so 400 gram will cost $11.43.Its the cheapest. But the owner also makes his own terrific shisha in different sizes cheap and its fantastic.He has around 10 flavours.Up north in the Galilee near Akko (Acre) where Napolean built great walls on top of crusader forts that are beautiful is Kfar Yassif village of Moslem and Chistian Arabs.They are open 24/7 and I haven't been therein 2 years, but he gets many stocks of shisha cheaper if bought in a pack of 10 and more brands.Also has hundreds of similar hookahs just Chinese and such. The market is in America and the best goes there friends. The holiday new years for Moslems and Jews is in 2 weeks for us and around 18 more days for Moslems so keep that in mind. Send me a private message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizaNabi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 You are from the Phillipines! You will see thousands of Phillipine women in every city who come as care takers for elderly. forget your english, you can speak here your own language and as a male you will be in the vast minority of Phillipines!!!

Chunky-Cheese Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thank you TizaNabi. There are Hookah bars here in the city I live in but it think their shishas aren't that good. Well, who am i to judge? I'm no connoisseur in shishas. Hahaha! But the smoke, from what I've seen in the different pictures of hookah smoke here seem to be thicker compared to the hookah smoke in the Philippines. What would be the major holidays there in October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
