Wa3 Radio — free Arabic and electronic radio, live from Paris

Wa3 Radio (وع), also called Radio Wa3, is a free online radio station based in Paris that streams Arabic music — tarab, Arabic pop, mahraganat, Lebanese and Egyptian classics — electronic music — techno, house, ambient — and eclectic sounds (rock, funk, jazz), live 24/7 on three channels (Electronic, Arabica, Random) and in five mood rooms (Morning, Work, Cruise, Night, Party), presented in English, French and Arabic.

At heart it is an underground station: one continuous, always-on signal, streaming free 24 hours a day — no app, no account, just press play.

The programming moves across languages and scenes: shows hosted in English, French and Arabic, threaded together by a rotating cast of selectors and a live, ever-changing chat.

The player is the homepage — open it, pick one of the five rooms (Morning, Work, Cruise, Night or Party, each with its own week of shows) and the live stream starts on your first tap. You'll see what's playing now, the day's show schedule, and where other listeners are tuning in from on a live world map.

Follow Wa3 on Instagram for show announcements, guest mixes and one-off broadcasts. The schedule and now-playing update in real time on the live player; the full week is on the schedule, with a page per room, per channel and per show. Also in français and العربية.
