An interactive globe that follows 450 years of hookah history through 14 cities, with a source for every fact
It starts in 16th-century Persia and follows the hookah to Mughal India, Ottoman Istanbul (where smoking could get you executed in 1633), Cairo, Beirut, Berlin and more. Besides the globe there's a small museum and 8 chapters to read. Every fact links to its source, so corrections are welcome!
