β Back to all UAE puzzlesDallah Coffee Pot Dot to Dot Puzzle Guide
Ask almost anyone in the Gulf what a good host offers a guest, and coffee will come up fast. The dallah is the pot that makes it happen β tall, curved, with a long spout built for a slow, careful pour. It shows up at weddings, in majlis sitting rooms, and outside tents at festivals, usually next to a stack of small handleless cups and a plate of dates. This 63-dot puzzle traces its unmistakable shape. Find dot 1 and let's pour one out.
1β13 β The Curved Handle
Start at dot 1 and connect through to dot 13 to draw the looping handle at the back of the pot. It's a tighter curve than it looks, so go slow here β rushing this part is where the shape usually gets away from beginners.
Fun fact!
Dallahs are traditionally hammered from brass or copper by hand, a craft passed down through families for generations. A well-made one can last decades with regular polishing.

14β26 β The Domed Lid
Continue from dot 14 to dot 26 to shape the rounded lid on top, often finished with a small pointed knob. This section is mostly gentle curves, so it's a good stretch for kids still building confidence with rounded lines.
Fun fact!
Some dallahs have a decorative crescent or bird-shaped ornament on the lid instead of a plain knob β a small detail that varies a lot from region to region and maker to maker.

27β39 β The Long Pouring Spout
Trace dots 27 through 39 to draw the long, narrow spout that gives the dallah its distinctive silhouette. This is the trickiest part of the drawing β the spout tapers as it extends outward, so encourage kids to draw it in one steady, unhurried stroke rather than several short ones.
Fun fact!
The spout's length isn't just decorative. It lets the host pour coffee from a small height without spilling, which is part of the performance of hospitality β pouring is done in full view of guests, not in another room.

40β52 β The Wide Body
Connect dots 40 to 52 to fill out the rounded main body of the pot, where the coffee itself would be brewing. This is the largest section here, so it's worth pausing halfway through to recount and make sure nothing's been skipped.
Fun fact!
Arabic coffee served from a dallah, known as gahwa, is typically brewed with lightly roasted beans and cardamom rather than the darker roasts common elsewhere β which is why it looks and tastes noticeably different from espresso or filter coffee.

53β63 β The Base and Stand
Finish by connecting dots 53 through 63 to draw the sturdy base the pot rests on. Eleven dots to go β a good, solid finish here anchors the whole drawing.
