In light of the passport stamp and the Hope mission patch, I wanted to point out the Emirates Post store where you can find the Emirates Mars Mission (Hope Probe) stamp sheet, as well as the earlier UAE astronauts stamps.

You can purchase the stamp sheets and other postal items outside the UAE by creating an account. Include your billing and shipping address (US or other location) and upon checking out provide your address in the notes section. The three locations should allow maximum visibility of the shipping address.

The total cost of the stamp sheet was 40 AED (12 AED for the sheet and 28 AED for shipping to the US) which is roughly between $10-$12 USD.

Here's the info about the Hope stamps, which were first released when the mission launched in July 2020:
Emirates Mars Mission (Hope Probe) is a UAE space project that embodies the leadership's ambitions to build a robust national space program that reflects the UAE's commitment to establish a sustainable knowledge-based economy and reinforce its position in the areas of space science and explorations.

Hope Probe, the Arab world's first interplanetary mission, carries messages of pride and hope to the Arab region with the aim to usher in the renaissance of Arab and Islamic discoveries. Emirates Mars Mission symbolizes the ambitions and culture of possibilities that is integral to the UAE's identity.

Hope Probe project aims to develop national skills in engineering, scientific research, and innovation. Hope Probe is the UAE's contribution to the future of humanity.

Emirates Post in collaboration with Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre and UAE Space Agency has issued a set of distinctive stamps to commemorate the UAE's historic first mission to Mars and its broader space ambitions.
