The Dallah coffee pot is an iconic symbol of Arabian hospitality, particularly in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the wider Gulf region. It’s a key part of the coffee-drinking ritual and is often used to serve gahwa, a spicy, bitter Arabic coffee, during social gatherings and celebrations. The dallah is not just a functional item; it’s a symbol of cultural identity. A dallah can be made of brass, steel, silver and even 24K gold for special occasions or use by royalty.
