As I admired my small collection of shisha flavours I noticed that the packaging was different between some of the products despite bearing the same name; both bear the same brand name ("Al Fakher") yet one uses the website http://www.alfakher.com and one uses the website http://www.alfakhir.com. The former company/website seems more legit to me and seems to be the company that launched a campaign against fake products by introducting security seals on it's products. Both compaies have different contact numbers yet have the same brand name.
Does anyone have any information on this?

sam, I only noticed something funny when suddenly the Al Fakher brand that was being stocked in Carrefour was replaced by the "other" Al Fakher.
For a while, I had thought the packaging had undergone a revamp, however, any sheesha connoisseur can tell the difference between the two in terms of taste.
Of late, I have noticed the "other" Al Fakher has been taken of the shelves and replaced with the "original" Al Fakher.
The original Al Fakher, I guess through an amicable settlement with the "other" Al Fakher, has informed its buyers of the confusion by taking all "necessary" measures, such as changing its packaging, adding a "seal" to the bag and and and...
Al Fakher is way better.
OK...if you want to know more, I visited two sheesha shops, each exclusively dealing in the 2 different brands. When I reluctantly went into the "fake" Al Fakher one, I asked them what the difference was. They said "new packaging, same company, tastes better" - I stuck with the real Al Fakher, merely because they taste better, and it's quite obvious the "other" Al Fakher is quite that: "other".
Consumer law? "other" topic.
Sam, your observation is correct; the first one (the one produced in Ajman) looks more legit and authentic…. and it's been around for quite sometimes..
Although I usually smoke at a coffee shop, I know that the mix from Ajman is the one they have been providing for my Shisha for the last two years…it tastes great, in fact, I've never complained even once …
*cough*
Didn't know that shisha is your poison, we should get together some time for a puff of Mua'asil and a pint of Moroccan tea…;)
i will release my brand its going to be the shitz.
Simply DONT smoke
I don't mind either as long as it's pronounced Al Fucker.
But this highlights a much bigger and serious problem.
I am still trying to figure out which Umm Suqueim spelling is the correct one. I have seen seven ways of spelling Al Quoz.
Is MOhammed the real deal or should it be MUhammed?
And everytime I type Koran instead of Qu'ran I may risk a fatwa?
And then there is Gulf Erection Co
Shisha! I bought some for my friends in Europe, I hope I got the right Al Fakher then.
Gulf Erection Co...I have also read people write : they are specialists in erections of all kinds.
Then we have : Eat and Drink Restaurant or Decent Restaurant, Al Intifadah Grocery...
