shisha, from the Persian word shishe, meaning glass, is the common term for the hookah in Egypt, Sudan and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf (including Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, UAE, and Saudi Arabia), and in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Somalia and Yemen. Arab world Bedouin smoking hookah, locally called nargileh, in a coffeehouse in Deir ez-Zor, on the Euphrates, 1920s. In the Arab world, people smoke it as part of their culture and traditions. Social smoking is done with a single or double hose, and sometimes even more numerous such as a triple or quadruple hose in the forms of parties or small get-togethers. When the smoker is finished, either the hose is placed back on the table signifying that it is available, or it is handed from one user to the next, folded back on itself so that the mouthpiece is not pointing at the recipient. Most cafés (Arabic:, transliteration: maqha, translation: coffeeshop) in the Middle East offer shishas.[citation needed] Cafés are widespread and are amongst the chief social gathering places in the Arab world (akin to public houses in Britain).[citation needed] Some expatriate Britons arriving in the Middle East adopt shisha cafés to make up for the lack of pubs in the region, especially where prohibition is in place.
