I'm looking for that special place.....the place where I can find the perfect shisha! Not a tired TV lounge with a few dirty pipes! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Surely there HAS to be a nice place somewhere! Where do the locals go for a little more quality? Am I sounding a little frantic?


Looking forward to wasting a few hours this evening chilling out and enjoying a smoke!
Thanks.....I know someone must know of a GOOD place :-)

Cheers and thanks for all your guidance on this most important matter!

You and me both Puff......still searching for that shisha place...i was living in dubai and sometimes wish i could bring my shisha cafe i used to go to in dubai and place it outside my front door lol......

I have tried two places here..... one called alwan and another called dana.....

The shisha in Dana is better than alwan but its not very accomodating to people who look like me lol...light skinned....

Still better than nothing Im going to be checking this thread looking for any tips you have on good shisha places here.....

You know, shisha places are banned in Riyadh City?

You will find them out of town, I have seen a few at the very top of King Fahad near the driving school. I doubt they are mixed sex of for females though?

shahab.ali

wait for some more time... my place will have the best shisha ;)

Ans

You should go to (DIRWAZAH or ALKHUZAMA or ALDAWOO ALKHAFET or ALWAN) if you don't like thos, I'll pay it.:o just let me know
best wishes,

shahab.ali

I have been to DIRWAZAH, its good... they use nakhla (a brand) tobacco, which is good... will have to find out about others!

Ans

Let's go guys. Iam on the way:D

shahab.ali

pick me up

the best Shisha (quality ) in the world u will find it in Riyadh no doubt in Aldana this where local go..  if you want high class without a good quality go to Alown ,,, they all close to Gernata command .. 

p.s.  advice , try to speak Arabic words with the employees over there . even if its bad arabic ,at least they dont give u the worst one if they see you as fresh smoker ( they give this importation to the western people or non Arabic speaker ) ...

slyshooter

Tipping them good will also help ( in advance if necessary)

anyways i will try to be a jerk here and share this with you ppl.

Hello!

I just arrived in Riyadh yeasterday and I already asked myself to where I could find a good shisha in town!

Bests,
Andreas

shahab.ali

wat was the answer?

ziad08

best place for me is a place called dana on damam highway....decent shisha although nothing compared to ones back in dubai....

i think the best one the one you make it by your self

AndiB

Yeasterday I found a place at the Dammam Road. I do not remember the name exactly, because it was shown to me by a very friendly guy from the hotel nearby. It was close to a junction and very spacious with different areas, where you could sit in a tend or lay down in kind of cabins. They also screend Champions-Leauge matches. To come to the most important point: The Shisha was quite good although I had better ones before. So I have a first place to go, but I am still looking. :)

Does anyone know, where I can buy Shisha-equipment here? In a supermarket close to my compound I already have sean suitable cole, but where to buy the pipe and tabaco?

so you see, I am working on it ;)

shahab.ali

andib... u have hundreds of Sheesha shops here in riyadh...

AndiB

Yes, I know. But the problem is to find them. I do not speak arabic and I do not know the exact adresses (if there are ones ;)) Another question would be, if the selling of shisha material is also banned in the center like the smoking.

shahab.ali

no its not at all banned for selling... which area do u stay? hope we have a meeting soon so that i can help u with it

shahab.ali

and where do u work... everyday while going back home, i see a nice sheesha shop on olaya...
wen faisaliyyah tower is on your right... keep going straight till u hit a junction... take a u-turn from there and after about 2-300 meters, you will find a shop on your right hand...which area do u work by the way?

AndiB

I work in the northeast, close to Kyrasus Road and I live near Granada mall. Therefore I have not been to the Center yet, but I intend to go and see the towers soon. Than I will try to find the shop. So thank you for the information. Where do you work and live here?

ali-7

if u want there is a shop close to you king abdullah road i can show it to u any time i will be glad to

ziad08

best shop i go to is in euromarche....the guy speaks english although will jack the prices up.....and i think the place u went to on damam highway is close to the one i go to called dana....they are all pretty much the same in terms of size and all show football...does get very cold at night though
