Retro-inspired designs celebrating Middle Eastern culture and nostalgia.
I'm Sara, a Syrian-born Canadian and the creator of Habibi Express.
Growing up surrounded by the rich culture, humor, and everyday nostalgia of the Middle East, I always loved the memories tied to old TV shows, childhood snacks, postage stamps, travel, street signs, and the little moments that instantly feel like home. At the same time, I've always been drawn to the bold colors, clean line art, and playful style of retro pop art, vintage travel posters, and comic-inspired design.
This shop brings those two worlds together.
Here you'll find original printable designs inspired by Middle Eastern culture, Arabic pop culture, Levantine nostalgia, and retro vintage aesthetics. From iconic TV moments like Bab El Hara and Dayaa Dayaa, to funny Arabic expressions, vintage postage stamps, nostalgic food packaging, childhood snacks, colorful stickers, and minimalist line art, every design is created to celebrate the places and memories that connect us.
Whether you're from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Morocco, Tunisia, or simply appreciate the beauty of Middle Eastern culture, I hope you find something that makes you smile and reminds you of home.
