Artistry Meets Innovation
Shika Hookah is where centuries-old artistry meets modern innovation. Every stem is shaped from heavy, pure brass, guided through a process that blends the precision of handcraft with advanced techniques. Traditional turning, welding, and hand-engraving are paired with modern machining on select models, creating a hybrid level of quality and performance never before seen in traditional hookahs. This fusion is something only Shika could deliver, uniting the soul of handmade work with the refinement of cutting-edge tools.
From the first pour of molten brass to the final polish, each piece passes through the hands of Egypt’s top artisans, specialists in casting, shaping, and engraving who work with an old-school discipline rarely found today. Their engravings are not filler patterns, but messages, symbols, and echoes of a semi-lost science. Inspired by Mamluk geometry, Pharaonic symbolism, Fatimid arches, and Arabic calligraphy, these designs are artworks meant to be interpreted by the eyes of the beholder, alive with meaning, history, and beauty.
The Shika team is a family bound by the same passion and work ethic. From brass masters and engravers to designers and quality control experts, each member is committed to perfection. Many come from generations of gallery work, bringing their rare skills into a shared vision: to create hookahs that are not only exceptional in performance but worthy of display as works of art. Together, they have built the “Shika world,” where every stem is a limited edition, every detail is intentional, and every piece is a legacy in brass.
