So if waiting isn’t your strongest suit, then hear this out!

Amazon Prime blesses customers with access to exclusive deals on Prime Day, free shipping and Amazon Prime Videos aka Amazon Original TV series and movies.

This means you can have anything -from local to international items- shipped to you for free on the very next day. Having an account is obviously a must and it costs Dhs16 a month or Dhs140 annually, and in case you’re the non-committal type, you can try it out for free for 30 days first.

“We are thrilled to bring Prime to the UAE just one month after the launch of Amazon.ae,” said Ronaldo Mouchawar, Vice President of Amazon MENA. “We are working hard every day to expand our product range, give customers even greater value, and continually improve the shopping experience here in the UAE. With the addition of Prime, customers can now enjoy the most convenient way to shop, access unlimited and award-winning entertainment, and shop exclusive deals on Prime Day.”
