Khalil Mamoon Temple: the elegance of an exceptional Egyptian hookah
The Khalil Mamoon Temple shisha is one of the signature models of the world's oldest hookah house, founded in Cairo in 1873. Its gilded brass stem, hand-engraved and decorated with finely worked motifs, has a slender silhouette and an unmistakable oriental character. Set on a glass base highlighted with gold lines and decorations inspired by ancient Egypt, this 68 cm Temple makes a real statement and becomes the centerpiece of your shisha space, at home or in a shisha bar.
68 cm height: balance, a cool draw and generous clouds
At 68 cm, the Temple strikes the right balance between presence and easy handling. Its stem and base keep the draw pleasantly cool and produce dense clouds with every pull, while remaining easy to set up and move. A versatile shisha, equally at home for a solo session or a relaxed evening with friends.
A wide traditional draw, the Khalil Mamoon signature
True to the brand's reputation, the Temple delivers a wide, open traditional draw that lets a large volume of vapor through while keeping flavors beautifully defined. It comes with its clay bowl, so all that's left is to pick your hose (not included) and enjoy the feel of the big shishas from oriental cafés: full inhales, abundant clouds and pure session pleasure.
Gilded brass and handcrafted construction
The brass stem is finished with a warm gilding and hand-made engraving, for a sumptuous look true to the traditional Khalil Mamoon spirit. Each hookah is crafted in Egypt using artisanal methods, so slight variations exist from one piece to the next: your shisha is one of a kind. A KM is designed as a lasting piece, made to last for years and to be handed down.
What's in the box and included accessories
This shisha comes with its clay bowl, for gradual heating and flavors true to the Egyptian tradition. It also includes two cleaning brushes, one for the base and one for the stem, and a pair of charcoal tongs to handle your embers safely. The hose is not included, leaving you free to choose the model and type of draw that suits your style.
Who this shisha is for
The Temple will appeal to enthusiasts looking for an authentic Egyptian hookah with a generous draw and a refined finish, in a format that is neither too big nor too compact. It is perfectly suited to regular use at home as well as professional use in a shisha bar or lounge, and pairs beautifully with classic, spicy or sweet blends for long, convivial sessions.

El-Badia expert tip
The included clay bowl likes consistency: let it come up to temperature slowly and manage the heat by moving the coals around rather than piling them up, to avoid bitterness and preserve the flavors. Fill the base so the end of the downstem is covered by 2 to 3 cm of water, the ideal balance between a cool draw and comfortable inhaling. Finally, clean the base and the stem regularly with the two supplied brushes and lukewarm water to keep flavors crisp session after session.

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.
