Midwakh

A midwakh (Arabic: مدواخ, also spelled medwakh) is a small smoking pipe of Arabian origin, in which dokha (دوخة), a sifted Iranian tobacco product mixed with aromatic leaf and bark herbs, is smoked.

Midwakh are primarily produced in the United Arab Emirates, and are especially popular in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

The pipes may be custom made, by allowing the smoker to specify the dimensions and design, and even letters and symbols.

The pipe may be crafted to resemble a dromedary camel, a highly revered animal in the UAE; the opening of the bowl shaped as the camel's mouth, with a small hole connected to a metal shaft inside the body of the pipe to conduct the smoke to the user.

Most midwakhs crafted today have a mouthpiece sized to fit a plastic filter.
