Amid a host of college hangouts on Raleigh's Hillsborough Street, Marrakesh Cafe's international flair makes it stand out from the rest. Marrakesh Cafe offers tea, light snacks, coffee, and holds the distinction as the Triangle's first hookah lounge.

Enter straight back and order several traditional Middle Eastern uniquities like baklava, Arabic coffee, or of course the hookah. Everything from the ottoman you're sitting on, to the light fixtures above you came right from Morocco. Once your hookah arrives, just drag on the serpentine hose and the mixture of fruit tobacco and heat from the coals and relax.

Just $8 or $10 will get you any kind of tobacco flavor you can pretty much desire. The price is enough for 2 people to enjoy the hookah for 45 minutes or more. Thanks to a special ventilation system, Marrakesh Cafe is an ideal place for smokers and non-smokers alike.
