Stories of Arab Founders & Pioneers

The Moghamra Podcast

Moghamra is a podcast from Moghamra Studios, telling the stories of Arabs who are pioneering their fields — anywhere in the world. What began as conversations with the MENA region's top startup founders and VCs has grown into in-depth interviews with Arab founders globally and trailblazers from every walk of life.

Each episode goes deep on the journey behind the work — the ambition, the setbacks, and the hard-won lessons — with the founders, investors, creators, and changemakers shaping what's next for the Arab world and beyond.

Hosted by Mohamed Refai, Moghamra is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Anghami, and every major platform. New episodes drop regularly — follow the show for the latest conversations.
