Ramadan 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting season for radio fans. While TV series always get a lot of attention, this year, radio drama is proving it still has a special place in our Ramadan routines. Big-name stars, familiar voices, and a mix of comedy, social stories, and suspense are all making their way onto the airwaves.
Whether you’re cooking, commuting, or just relaxing at home, there’s going to be plenty to tune in to. Here’s a look at what’s coming to the airwaves.
Sayem Wala Nayem – Medhat Saleh and Entsar
ERTU Shabab wal Riyadiyah
Medhat Saleh is back with a Ramadan radio series “Sayem Wala Nayem”, co-starring Entsar. It’s written by Mohammad Al Shorbagy and directed by Amr Abdo Diab and will be airing on ERTU Shabab wal Riyadiyah. The series leans into humor that feels close to home — that eternal Ramadan question: are we fasting… or just sleeping through the day?
Al-Fahlawi – Ahmed Ezz
Nogoum FM
Ahmed Ezz is joining the Ramadan radio lineup with “Al-Fahlawi” on Nogoum FM. He plays the kind of person who just wings it and figures things out as he goes, and just having Ezz on the airwaves is enough to make listeners sit up and take notice.
Akhtar Khateer – Mohamed Henedy
Nile Radio Stations
Comedy lovers, take note: Mohamed Henedy is returning to radio with “Akhtar Khateer”, co-starring Sawsan Badr, Alaa Morsy, and Mohsen Mansour. Written and directed by Safi El-Din Hassan, it promises Henedy’s signature humor, making it a great choice for a light-hearted Ramadan listen.
Al-Metr Bara’a – Ahmed Fahmy
Nile Radio Stations
Ahmed Fahmy also has a spot in Nile Radio’s Ramadan schedule with “Al-Metr Bara’a”, alongside Gihan ElShamashergy. Penned by Mohamed Adly Mansour and directed by Safi El-Din Hassan, the series blends humor with character-driven storytelling. Fahmy’s comedic sensibility paired with a strong ensemble makes this one a solid pick for fans of smart, situational comedy.
Sana Ola Gawaz – Ahmed Helmy
Nile Radio Stations
Ahmed Helmy stars in “Sana Ola Gawaz”, joined by Aicha Bin Ahmed, Arfa Abdel Rasoul, Laila Ezzelarab, and Emad Rashad. The series, written by Amgad Elsharqawy and directed by Ahmed Nader, takes listeners through the ups and downs of a couple’s first year together.
With a satirical comedy style, the show highlights the funny, awkward, and sometimes ironic situations that newlyweds face as they navigate married life.
Sa’et Shitan – Diab
NRJ
Artist Diab is bringing a different flavor with “Sa’et Shitan” on NRJ. It’s written by Hamed Elsharrab and Mostafa Askar and directed by Zahra Ramy. The details are still being kept under wraps, but the title alone is enough to spark curiosity.
We’re used to seeing Diab lean into intense and sometimes dark roles, so it’s hard not to wonder if this series will explore another edgy side of him. Whatever he has planned, it already feels like one of those shows you’ll want to keep an ear out for this Ramadan
Al Iskandar Elasghar – Egyptian Radio
Egyptian Radio is launching “Al Iskandar Elasghar” as part of its Ramadan schedule. The series stars Hassan El Raddad, Wizo, Ahmed Seyam, and Lobna Wanas.
The series follows a young Alexandrian man studying Greek history whose life changes after he obtains a rare ancient manuscript related to the lost tomb of Alexander the Great, leading him into a dangerous and secret journey.
Fat El Maash – Akram Hosny
NRJ
Akram Hosny is making up for his TV absence with a light, daily radio series titled “Fat El Maash”, airing before Maghrib throughout Ramadan.
Written by Mostafa Askar and Hamed Elsharrab, and directed by Zahra Ramy, the series delivers gentle comedy and easy listening — perfect for that pre-iftar window when everyone’s hungry but still smiling.
Final Words
Ramadan 2026 is proving that radio drama is far from old-fashioned. With a mix of comedy, star power, and suspense, there’s something for everyone. So even if you’re skipping the TV this year, turning on the radio might just be the best way to spend your Ramadan evenings.
