Khalil Mamoon Taj Mahal Gold: the luxury of an Egyptian legend
The Khalil Mamoon Taj Mahal Gold embodies all the prestige of the oldest hookah house in the world, founded in Cairo in 1873. Its fully golden brass stem, finely hand-engraved, creates a refined silhouette and an immediately luxurious presence. Topped with a wide golden tray and set on a glass base enhanced with gold lines, this 77 cm Taj Mahal becomes the true centrepiece of your shisha space, whether at home or in a hookah lounge.
77 cm height: balance, cool smoke and big clouds
Standing 77 cm tall, the Taj Mahal Gold features a generously sized base and a long stem that help deliver well-cooled smoke and dense clouds with every draw. Its generous size ensures excellent stability, even during intense and extended sessions with friends or customers. This is a shisha designed for enthusiasts who enjoy volume and long, sociable sessions.
A wide draw, the Khalil Mamoon signature
True to the brand’s reputation, the Taj Mahal Gold offers a wide and direct traditional draw, allowing a large volume of smoke to pass through while preserving excellent flavour delivery. Paired with a wide hose and a suitable bowl (not included), it recreates the characteristic feel of the large shishas served in oriental cafés: open pull, abundant vapour and pure session pleasure. It is a model that will appeal equally to experienced enthusiasts and lounges looking for authenticity.
Gold-finished brass and handcrafted production
The signature feature of this Taj Mahal is its fully golden finish: the brass stem is enhanced with a warm gold tone and hand engraving, for a sumptuous result that stays true to the traditional Khalil Mamoon spirit. As each shisha is made in Egypt using artisanal methods — with steel fusion-welded in the traditional way — slight variations exist from one piece to another: your shisha is unique. A KM is designed as a lasting piece, built to endure for years and even to be passed on.
Box contents and included accessories
This shisha is supplied without hose or bowl, giving you the freedom to choose the draw style and bowl that best match your preferences. For maintenance, it comes with two brushes — one for the base and one for the stem — essential for keeping the draw clean and the flavour crisp. A pair of coal tongs is also included so you can handle your charcoals safely. A rubber protector under the base and a fixing grommet (included) complete the set.
Who is it for?
The Taj Mahal Gold is aimed at enthusiasts looking for an imposing yet refined traditional Egyptian hookah, with a generous draw and a premium finish. It is perfectly suited to regular home use, but also to professionals (hookah bars and lounges) who want to offer their customers a large, golden and spectacular Khalil Mamoon. It pairs especially well with classic, spicy or dessert-style blends for long and convivial sessions.

El-Badia expert tip
To get the best from this Taj Mahal Gold, pair it with a wide hose and a bowl suited to your style (a phunnel for easy molasses management, or a traditional bowl for a result very close to oriental cafés). Fill the base so that the end of the downstem is covered by 2 to 3 cm of water: this is the right balance between smoke cooling and draw comfort. Clean the stem and the base regularly with the supplied brushes and lukewarm water to preserve flavour purity and extend the life of your shisha.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that your shisha lasts as long as possible and always provides a pleasant experience. Here are a few tips to keep your shisha in top condition:
- Cleaning after each use
Rinse the vase in hot water immediately after use. Use a special shisha brush to remove any residue. Also clean the body of the shisha with a special brush designed specifically to reach hard-to-reach areas. Find our different shisha cleaning products and shisha brushes here.
- Deep cleaning
For a more thorough clean, we recommend using EL-BADIA SHISHA CLEANER Powder. This powerful solution offers several benefits: it effectively removes stubborn stains, unwanted odors and lime deposits. It disinfects your hookah for a more hygienic experience and makes your hookah shine, restoring its original shine.
To use Shisha Cleaner, dilute two teaspoons of powder in 1 litre of hot water. Immerse your shisha parts in this solution for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. This method ensures thorough cleaning and optimum disinfection of your shisha.
- Maintenance of the various parts
Firebox: Empty it after each use and clean it with a sponge and liquid soap.
Pipe: Make sure it is washable, then rinse it with water and shake it to remove any residue.
Seals: Simply rinse with water, or soak briefly in soapy water if necessary.
By following these regular maintenance tips, you'll considerably extend the life of your shisha while guaranteeing quality sessions every time you use it.
