Palestinian pop icon Saint Levant is back with a new single, and this time he’s keeping it simple. ‘Sabah El Ward’ is a warm, unfussy track that feels more indebted to the golden age of Arabic music than anything on a contemporary playlist. Opening with a sax line that immediately sets a nostalgic tone, the guitar-driven verses and a vocal melody that carries the whole tune do the heavy lifting throughout.<\/p>\n
\n
\nFilmed in Amman, the music video is directed by Mohamed Sqalli and Saint Levant himself, with his father Rashid Abdelhamid serving as executive producer; a family energy that comes through in the texture of the whole thing. The video runs on a split-screen format, following Saint Levant and co-star Yasmina Zaytoun through their separate mornings, until their worlds converge.<\/p>\n
It’s the kind of video where the details matter more than the plot. No grand gestures, just two people moving through an ordinary morning in a city that clearly means something to the artist. The Amman setting feels deliberate rather than decorative, and the low-key production keeps the focus on the song itself, giving off a grounded energy just in time for Eid.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
