Cairo Radio Online: Stations Streaming Live

Published 24 September 2026

You can listen to Cairo radio online in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM, search for a station's name, and press play. Cairo is the capital of Arabic radio: Egypt's Holy Qur'an Radio has broadcast from the city since 1964, and its music stations reach listeners across the Arab world.

Qur'an radio

• Holy Qur'an Radio from Cairo — Qur'an recitation from Egypt's great reciters; one of the most-listened stations in the directory.

Music and talk

• Nogoum FM — Arabic pop.
• Radio 9090 — talk and music.
• Mix FM 87.8 and Arab Mix FM — Arabic and international hits.

The sound of the city

Egyptian radio made Umm Kulthum's monthly Thursday concerts a ritual across the Arab world in the twentieth century, and Cairo remains the centre of Arabic music. Qur'an radio online and African radio online go further.

A little history

Egyptian state radio began in 1934, and in 1953 Cairo launched Voice of the Arabs, a station heard across the Arab world.

Listening from elsewhere

Cairo keeps Egypt's time — two hours ahead of UTC in winter and three in summer; Egypt restored daylight saving time in 2023.
