Ahmed Smoking Shisha

Posted by alexdpx (Manila, Philippines) on 1 February 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Shisha is the traditional "cigar" in the Middle East. Flavouring is added to water which is heated in ornately decorated bottles with charcoal on top. Smoke is then inhaled with a long pipe connected to the bottle with a tube.

Ahmed is our Contracts and Risks Manager and although officially an Egyptian, he prefers to be referred to as an Alexandrian.
