Curriculum
Your instructor
With an extensive background in hospitality management and a deep-seated passion for the cultural aspects of hookah lounging, I've spent over a decade immersed in the vibrant world of aromatic tobaccos and communal relaxation. My journey has taken me from the bustling streets of Istanbul to the cozy corners of Middle Eastern cafes in the heart of America, where I have not only mastered the art of hookah service but also gained valuable insights into the intricate designs and traditions surrounding this ancient pastime.
As an educator, my goal is to weave together the rich history, the sociocultural significance, and the practical know-how of running a successful hookah lounge. My enthusiasm for sharing this knowledge is matched by my commitment to fostering a learning environment where students can explore the nuances of hookah culture. Through my course, I aim not only to impart the skills necessary for managing a hookah lounge but also to ignite a passion for the enduring legacy and the communal spirit that hookah smoking embodies.
