Frequently asked questions
What do I need for a first hookah session?
A hookah, a bowl, coconut charcoal, tongs, foil or a heat management device, and a tub of molasses. Desert Rose covers all of it.
What is the difference between molasses and dark leaf?
Molasses is blonde leaf: wetter, sweeter and milder. Dark leaf is stronger in nicotine and flavour, and drier to pack.
Is there a tobacco-free option?
Yes. The herbal range in Apple, Mint and Mixed Fruit contains no tobacco and no nicotine.
Which hookah size should I buy?
60cm suits most homes. 76cm gives a cooler draw but needs floor space; 32cm travel pipes suit apartments and trips.
Does Desert Rose cover medwakh as well?
Yes: rosewood and carved medwakh pipes, UAE dokha blends, a pouch and a cleaning set.
