The stars of Istanbul: Nargeela - Smoking a Water Pipe

Water pipes find their origin in the Ottoman Empire: once a world power with a high level of civilisation. Water pipes where called `Narguile' then.
Turkey is all that remained of this impressive empire.
Water pipes are still very popular in the Middle East. Water pipes in these regions are used to smoke special kinds of tobacco, like honey and apple tobacco.
Smoking and sharing a water pipe amongst friends can be seen as a sign of friendship and trust.
