The city of Hail stands as one of Saudi Arabia’s cultural landmarks, renowned for its deep-rooted heritage in crafting National Factory for Dalal — an iconic symbol of hospitality and pride across the Arabian Peninsula. It is home to one of the largest Arabic coffee dallah factories in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. Established in 1415 AH (1995 AD) by Saad Al-Shammari, the factory began as a small passion project inspired by love for Arabic coffee and grew into an industrial establishment preserving the Najdi heritage of craftsmanship.
The factory is famous for producing a wide range of Arabic coffee pots in various shapes and sizes, each distinguished by its fine details, elegant finish, and intricate designs inspired by Ottoman motifs and traditional Arabian engravings. It also includes a special exhibition hall featuring rare and historic dallahs — some over 300 years old — as well as luxurious handcrafted sets that can reach prices exceeding 30,000 SAR, representing the finest Saudi artistry that blends authenticity with perfection.
Each dallah goes through several stages of production, beginning with the careful selection of raw materials, followed by precise handcrafting and polishing, resulting in a masterpiece that tells the story of Arabic coffee and Saudi culture. Among the most popular designs produced by the factory are the Baghdadiyah, Gharshiyah, Rassadaniyah, and Hassawiyah — each reflecting the diverse regional heritage of the Kingdom.
Visiting the Hail Dallah Factory is an unforgettable experience for coffee and heritage enthusiasts. Visitors can observe the manufacturing process up close and learn the secrets behind this time-honored craft passed down through generations. The factory also offers an opportunity to purchase authentic handmade dallah sets as memorable keepsakes.
