You must have seen these before? They are called the nargile, or water pipe, or hookah. They are very common in the Middle East. They are flavoured tobacco. We had Apple ???? and it actually was a very pleasant taste. Just something fun to
try while we're here.Sent from my iPhone

No, I didn't go inside. They are high up and I don't think they are accessible. You can't go in the Treasury or the Monastery either, but I did go inside the Royal Tombs.Sent from my iPad
