Amazon.ae just wrapped up its 48-hour Prime Day event this year, offering customers in the UAE incredible savings and delivering the biggest two-day period ever for Amazon’s third-party sellers, nearly all of which are small and medium-sized businesses, growing even more than Amazon’s retail business.  Prime members in 20 countries shopped more this Prime Day than any previous Prime Day and scored deep discounts across home, fashion, beauty, and electronics. Members purchased more than 250 million items worldwide and saved more than any Prime Day before. In the UAE, Prime members saved more than any previous Prime Day, securing discounts across every category.

Ronaldo Mouchawar, Vice President of Amazon Middle East and North Africa (MENA), said: “We love celebrating our growing family of Prime members and are proud to have delivered yet another successful Prime Day event with such incredible savings during this year’s event. Joining others around the world as they saved big, tens of thousands of members in the UAE received their Prime Day orders in no time with the Free Same-Day delivery option. Shoppers on Amazon.ae had access to discounts across a wide range of local and international brands, including Amazon US and UK deals as well as ‘Shop Local’ deals connecting Prime members to local business owners, during the 48-hours.”
