Anghami is a leading music and entertainment streaming platform focused on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Launched in November 2012, the service offers both free ad-supported access and premium subscription tiers, allowing users to stream and download a vast library of Arabic and international tracks. Anghami’s mobile and web apps include personalized playlists, curated editorial content, and social features designed to engage listeners and connect them with artists.
The company’s core offerings extend beyond music streaming to encompass podcasts, live virtual events and exclusive content releases. Through strategic partnerships with major record labels such as Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group, as well as numerous regional labels and independent artists, Anghami delivers a broad catalogue that spans multiple genres. The platform also collaborates with local telecom operators and device manufacturers to reach audiences more effectively across its target markets.
Co-founded by Eddy Maroun and Elie Habib, Anghami is headquartered in Dubai and maintains a significant presence in Beirut. The founders leveraged their backgrounds in technology and telecommunications to create the first fully legal music service in the Arab world. In December 2021, the company completed a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), resulting in a listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol ANGHW.
Today, Anghami serves millions of registered users across the MENA region and among global Arabic-speaking communities. Under the leadership of CEO Eddy Maroun and CTO Elie Habib, the company continues to expand its digital entertainment ecosystem, aiming to introduce new features, strengthen licensing partnerships and foster emerging talent in its core markets.
