Habbabah is an Arabic family drama series that lovingly revives the oral storytelling tradition of the Arab world. At its heart is an elderly grandmother named Hababa, who sits each day with her two granddaughters, Lulwa and Nadia, and spins a tale from the Thousand and One Nights. The series weaves between the grandmother's living room and the vivid world of whichever story she is telling, giving each tale visual life. But these are not mere fairy tales for entertainment: every story carries within it a moral lesson touching on human values and social issues relevant to any era. A warm, intergenerational series that bridges grandmother and granddaughter across centuries of storytelling.
