Have you ever wondered what country has the best hookah industry? Today we are going to go over some of the countries that has the most developed hookah scene.

If we consider the origin of hookah there are some versions of how hookah came out to light and how it is developed and carried over to the modern times.

Some think that hookah originated in India, others think it is Persian invention, and some others think that first hookahs were noticed in ancient Egypt. Whatever the origin of hookah is, we are glad that it became popular worldwide.

Countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Persia, Saudi Arabia, and UAE all have very high demand for hookah products. All of these countries manufacture their own tobaccos as well as their own equipment. Moreover, these countries have a vast majority of places where they serve hookahs that you can enjoy and will not be disappointed. However, these countries are somehow behind on the technologies and innovations when it comes to hookahs. People love Khalil Mamoon hookahs and mostly pack Double Apple flavor. Most of the times it is foil, and some wooden charcoals. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this type of setup, but we have seen a more efficient, and better options on the market worldwide. 

Europe has picked up the hookah industry lately and constantly coming up with the new and innovative products. Previously hookahs in European countries were considered exotic and not a lot of people had an ability to try it. On top of that it was considered as something bad, so people tried to stay away from these places.

Today, we see a lot of cities of Europe are filled with hookah spots where people enjoy innovative new hookahs. Amy, MIG, and most of the stainless steel hookahs are innovations that came from European countries. Germany is one of the countries that constantly releasing new hooakahs and flavors.

We are humble, but believe that our hookah lounge has brought direct influence in the hookah market as well. Although, US was popular for the hookah tobacco brands such as Tangiers, Fumari, Starbuzz it is was not until lately that hookah industry sky rocketed in the US.

With all that being said, ex USSR countries are the leaders on of the hookah industry. You can hardly find a place where they do not serve hookah in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus. Russia holds most innovative hookah conferences and companies that constantly develop high quality products that people enjoy around the world.

But it was not like this all the time. Sometime ago, nobody knew what hookah was in these countries. Late 2000s and early 2010s were cornerstone for hookah industry in these countries. It became so popular that you could hardly find a person who have never tried a hookah. Today this is the holy grail of hookah industry.
