ARABIC RADIO
Arabic-language radio spans an enormous cultural range — from North African (Maghreb) stations playing raï and chaabi to Gulf states broadcasting khaleeji pop and Quranic recitation. Egyptian radio, the oldest in the Arab world, remains influential. The diversity of dialects and musical traditions across the Arab world makes this one of the most regionally varied language groups on radio.
Arabic dialects on radio range widely — Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, and Maghreb Arabic are all distinct. Musical traditions vary just as much between regions.
Broadcasting from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Lebanon, UAE, Tunisia, Iraq.
