The Registrar of the Abu Dhabi Global Market issued the Commercial Permits Regulations (Shisha) Rules 2024 to regulate the sale of shisha within the jurisdiction. These rules mandate that all entities selling shisha must obtain a specific Shisha Permit from the Registrar, which involves submitting detailed applications, floor plans, and landlord no-objection letters. The regulations establish the Registrar's authority to set permit conditions, conduct inspections, and impose fines for non-compliance or operating without a valid permit.
