  • In the tea houses of Tripoli, you will see men smoking hubble-bubble, known locally as nargileh, or shisha. If you want to try it, a waiter will bring you one. It is a very light, perfumed smoke and even non-smokers, like me, find it tolerable. The tobaccos often include fruit flavours, such as peach and strawberry. It's worth trying once, just to see what it's like.

    Cafe Salim in Maidan al-Jezayir is a good place to try it.

     Hi Found your comments on the 4 Seasons v helpful! I stayed in Tripoli a few times with friends (also in a hotel - can't remember the name but pretty dire) and now need somewhere not horribly expensive (or just horrible). 4 seasons sounds perfect. Janet
