As an avid shisha lover, I don’t say this lightly. I’ve been fortunate to travel across many countries and experience some of the finest shishas out there. This was my first time in the Middle East, and honestly, HuQQabaz at Souk Al Bahar completely blew me away.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve enjoyed shisha in Jeddah, Kuwait, and now Dubai—and this place truly stands out. The quality of the shisha is hands down among the best you’ll find in town: perfectly prepared, smooth, flavorful, and consistent from start to finish. You can tell this is not rushed work; it’s a craft they take seriously.
But what really elevates the experience is the people. Special shoutout to Aakash, Cool, and Mehdy—these gentlemen made the evening unforgettable with their warm hospitality and expert care. They truly know how to make you feel welcome and ensure your shisha experience is spot on.
And then there’s the location. Sitting right in front of the Burj Khalifa, enjoying world-class shisha with impeccable service and an iconic view—it doesn’t get more Dubai than this. Old-school hospitality, modern finesse.
If you’re in town and appreciate truly good shisha, do yourself a favor and come here. This is how it’s supposed to be done.
