The Khalil Mamoon Balha Safari Gold has been a counter favourite at our Melbourne store since we first stocked it — a 56 cm hand-forged Egyptian pipe with the wide-bore draw of a full-size KM in a frame that fits any room. Brass and stainless steel under polished gold plating, paired with a hand-painted black-and-gold glass base.

Khalil Mamoon Balha Safari Gold 22" — Twisted-Stem Egyptian Hookah

Why we recommend this Khalil Mamoon

• Effortless open draw — the wide-bore stem pulls like a full-size KM without forcing.
• Hand-twisted Balha stem with visible hammer marks, ridged knurling and embossed floral hub — every piece is one-of-a-kind.
• 56 cm height keeps the silhouette desk and coffee-table friendly while preserving the smoke profile.
• Ball-bearing purge valve clears the chamber in one breath between flavours.
• Polished gold plating over brass and stainless steel — finished to a mirror in Cairo.

Fit & Compatibility

Ships with a traditional Egyptian clay bowl that runs well with foil or foil-plus-screen. For HMD setups, drop in a phunnel and seat a Kaloud Lotus or Provost on top. Standard KM grommet sizing throughout.

Care & Maintenance

• Run warm water through the downstem with a thin stem brush after each session.
• Refresh the glass base with warm water plus a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of bicarb to lift flavour ghosting.
• Buff the gold plating with a soft, dry cloth — skip abrasive cleaners.
• Swap grommets the moment they lose their seal. Store upright in a dry spot.

Can I see this hookah at your Melbourne store?

Yes — the Balha Safari Gold is a regular on display at Melbourne's Shisha Store at 20/573 Burwood Highway, Knoxfield. Pop in seven days and our team can walk you through it.

Are minor marks on the stem normal?

Yes. KM pipes are hand-forged in Cairo and small workshop marks, hammer impressions and finish variations are part of the genuine handcraft. They do not affect performance.
