Sawt Al Arab

Sawt Al Arab (Voice of the Arabs) was founded in 1953. At the time, it was one of the most popular radio station. The main medium through which President Gamal Abdel Nasser spread his will of Arab unity, Sawt Al Arab was therefore broadcasting his speeches calling for Arab unity and the struggle against colonialism. In recent decades, its popularity declined.
