• The dallah (long-spouted pot) with small handleless finjan cups is the symbol of Emirati hospitality — it's on the 1-dirham coin
• Most cheap souk dallahs are decorative (India/China-made brass); ask specifically if you want a stovetop-usable one, or buy gahwa pre-ground with cardamom and saffron to go with it
• Haggle in souks (start ~50-60% of quote); fixed-price at malls and Amazon.ae/noon
• Small souk shops don't do Planet tax-free tags; mall retailers do if the bill exceeds AED 250
