What is the difference between hookah and shisha?!
Answers: Is there a difference?
They are actually not the same! But alot of people assume that they are, it's a very common mistake. The hookah was developed in India and is very common in India and the Middle East.
HOOKAH: is the pipe
SHISHA: is the tobacco

I think they are the same.
From Wikipedia under Hookah ::
"Shisha (????) is from the Persian word shishe (????, literally translated as glass and not bottle), and is primarily used for water pipes in Egypt and the Arab countries of the Gulf (such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia) as well as Morocco, Tunisia, Somalia and Yemen. In Iran it is called ghalyoun or ghalyan (?????) and in India and Pakistan it is referred to as huqqa."
It's AMAZING what you can find on the computer - you should get one!
