If you are looking for a luxury hookah set that earns its place at the centre of a gathering, the Royal Shah Abbasi delivers.

It is a working hookah and a piece of decorative art in one. It is a royal hookah in every sense, with a crystal hookah base cut and gilded by hand.

Superior Craftsmanship and Design
The vase and tray are finished in traditional Mina Kari, the Persian enamelling art most associated with Persian Heritage, and the hand-painted detail on the crystal glass rewards a close look. Every element has been made to be used, not just admired, which is what separates a genuine Persian set from a decorative imitation.
Innovative 6-Hole Mechanism
The new 6-hole system draws evenly, producing smoother and more consistent smoke. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or setting up your first proper session, the difference is noticeable from the first draw.
Luxurious and Durable Components
Standing 70 cm tall, the set has the presence of a royal hookah while the height helps cool and smooth the smoke. The three-skin crystal glass gives the vase strength as well as clarity, and the cow leather hose is soft in the hand and built for years of use. Its bone hosehead, enamelled with the traditional bouquet and bird motif, ties the whole set together.
A Perfect Centrepiece for Gatherings
For a Yalda evening, a wedding celebration or a relaxed night with friends, this luxury hookah set brings a sense of ceremony that guests remember. It also makes a generous gift for anyone who values Persian craftsmanship in daily life.
How to Set Up Your Royal Shah Abbasi Hookah Set
Follow these steps to get the most out of your first session.
1- Fill the glass about one-third with water.
2- Insert the hookah body into the glass, ensuring that the metal tube is submerged in the water by 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 inch), and make sure no air is leaking from around the body.
3- If the body has a hookah tray, place the tray on top of the body.
4- Insert the hose into the hole of the body, ensuring that no air enters around the hose.
5- Place the metal screen (mesh) into the head and then place the head onto the body.
6- Fill the head with tobacco, distributing it evenly with your hands.
7- Cover the head with a thin layer of aluminium foil and poke regular holes in the foil using a needle.
8- Place the charcoal over a direct flame until it turns red, then use tongs to place the charcoal on top of the foil.
Now, you can start puffing away!
