Sahara comes alive in the evenings:

Sunday–Thursday: 5:00 PM – 1:00 AM

Friday–Saturday: 5:00 PM – 2:00 AM

Perfect for winding down late or making it the night’s main event.

At Sahara, elegance meets authenticity. From Egyptian-imported handcrafted hookahs to plush seating and softly lit ambiance, every detail is curated to transport guests into a space of comfort, culture, and calm sophistication. Add in live sports on a 119” projector, smooth beats, and the aroma of fine tobaccos — and you’ve got more than a lounge, you’ve got an experience.

Beyond the smoke, there’s flavor for every craving. Whether it’s the boldness of authentic Turkish coffee, the warmth of traditional teas, or the refreshing lift of real-fruit smoothies and fresh-squeezed juices, Sahara offers something to satisfy and surprise. Every sip is designed to complement the moment.

Our collection features only premium-quality tobaccos — from the smooth classics of Alfakher and the buzz of Starbuzz, to our signature in-house blends crafted exclusively for Sahara. Each bowl is prepared with precision and care, ensuring thick clouds and unforgettable flavor.

Hospitality isn’t a bonus here — it’s the standard. The Sahara team is known for its genuine warmth and expertise, guiding guests through flavor selections or simply checking in to make sure every moment hits just right. It’s all about effortless comfort.

Expect a diverse, relaxed, and respectful mix of hookah lovers, night owls, artists, professionals, and explorers — many of whom make Sahara their go-to spot. Whether it’s an intimate conversation or a night out with friends, the lounge adapts to the energy of the people inside.

The atmosphere builds throughout the evening, with weekends often filling up fast. For those who enjoy the energy of a buzzing room and shared vibes, the late hours offer a particularly lively scene.

While outside drinks are not permitted, the house beverages more than make up for it. Some guests enjoy bringing small bites — though we always recommend checking with staff on the current policy.

At the heart of it all is Mustafa — a passionate host and hospitality expert who brings vision, tradition, and high standards to everything Sahara does. His presence is part of what makes this lounge feel less like a business and more like a shared passion.
