The dallah is a traditional Arab coffee pot, a symbol of hospitality in the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf.
It has a bulbous body, a long decorated crescent-shaped spout and an ornate lid.
The motifs engraved on the dallah include ancient Egyptian symbols such as pyramids and sphinxes, as well as floral and geometric scenes.
Probably appearing in the 16th century, the specific shape of the dallah became established in the 17th century.
Used to serve Arab coffee during hospitality rituals and festive events, the dallah is a symbol of identity and respect.
The dallah is made of brass, steel, silver or gold, with traditional motifs such as the swirl and the square flower.
Artisanal production is declining in favour of imports.
The dallah appears on UAE dirham coins and is a popular souvenir.
Since 2015, Arabic coffee and the dallah have been recognised as intangible cultural heritage in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar.
