Egypt Pictures
Cairo

...when there are kids around.

Pictures: Goodies from Cairo's Khan el Khalili: spices; glassware [never mind the potential breakages, fling the kid around]; shisha tobacco water pipes.

Water pipes: In case you ever wondered whether naughty Eyptians [and by the way, most of these people do not consider themselves to be Arabs, they are a breed apart, Egyptians] smoke hashish in the water pipes such as those pictured above, the answer is no.
Water pipes with long flexible tubes are called shisha and used exclusively for tobacco, usually mixed with honey. Hash pipes are called goza and are much smaller with short bamboo stems that do not collect the psychoactive fumes en route to the smoker's lungs.
