We really bought a hookah in Sharm, so I can’t really tell you about the place. But here's what to look for: copper and heavy. It is accordingly more expensive than ordinary pieces of iron, but this is the best. The flask should be glass and preferably transparent so that you can see how much liquid to pour. Do not take a large flask, it is not convenient. You have to pour a lot of liquid. Okay, if it's water, but if it's wine or milk? And if the champagne...

bargain till the end!!! I approached the choice of hookah very seriously. And only from the fifth time it was possible to buy for $30. Those. we paid $60 for 2 hookahs. In general, in Egypt it is always more profitable to buy in bulk. So it's cheaper. One probably would not have been sold for 30.
And my boyfriend was also given a pack of tobacco (10 packs in it) and 2 packs of coal as a gift. So bargain!!! Arabs are very fond of giving"gifts ". :)))

I can tell you about the prices in Sharm: unpretentious $ 7-15, good $ 20-60. But this is the starting price, so to speak, it all depends on your ability to bargain, bargain to the last, if you do not agree with your price, turn around and leave, they themselves will begin to catch up and agree to your terms. The price can be reduced by at least half.

A piece of iron in a hookah should unwind in at least 2 places. Then it is easy to clean and transport. There should be as many holes on the bottom of the piece of iron as possible. Minimum 4. And always ask for extra filters (small iron balls) and rubber seals for the ceramic cup and tube.

When buying a hookah, be sure to ask the seller to let him smoke it, in addition, be sure to assemble and disassemble it. Because there are a lot of marriages. Do not buy a hookah that is not disassembled, as you may end up with a souvenir. A good hookah costs at least $40.

My friend bought a hookah not in the very center of the city, but in a shopping complex (15 minutes walk from our hotel was). It is located near the Titanic water park (if you know). There are good shops ... there is a choice ... And be sure to bargain, bargain to the last.

In Hurghada, for a hookah, you need to go to the old city (Downtown), and there it is already anywhere. The main thing is to take into account all the previous tips. That is: the metal part should be heavy, if you understand metals then copper. remember, for 25 pounds you will not buy a good hookah! We bought, and our friends for 30 dollars. Traded to the last. And be sure to have it sorted out for you. Yes, there are small protrusions on the metal part, they are unscrewed and there should be metal balls in them.

Be sure to check their presence, we took one without these balls, it is impossible to smoke a hookah without them.

By the way, I want to clarify about the filters at the bottom of the piece of iron. Most often there are 2, less often 4. The more filters, the better. But it is often found that the Arabs themselves drill additional filters and charge an additional fee for them. Don't rely on it. Self-drilled filters are smaller and immediately visible.
As for disassembling the hookah, I have it disassembled into 3 parts.
And no one has said anything about the tube yet. There are a lot of marriages, we came to change my pipe the next day, because it was bad.

You can buy a good leather pipe separately, but it's up to you. It will cost 15-20$ only one tube! I did not buy, I left a simple one. It smokes well from it.
Before buying a hookah, decide for yourself at what price you want to buy it and what is the upper price limit. And bring down the price to this limit. Happy shopping!!!
By the way, hookah cannot be carried in hand luggage. All pieces of iron are put in luggage. Only the flask can be taken with you on the plane.
