Abdo Chlala, Director of Marketing and Prime, Amazon Middle East and North Africa (MENA), said: “Prime Day is one of our biggest shopping events globally and we are extremely proud to have introduced it for the first time to our customers in Saudi Arabia this year, as we mark Amazon.sa’s first-year anniversary. Prime members in Saudi Arabia saved big during the two days of Prime Day, joining others around the world as they saved while shopping thousands of epic deals. Members on Amazon.sa enjoyed access to discounts across a wide range of local and international brands during the 48-hour event, including Amazon US and UAE deals, as well as ‘Shop Local’ deals connecting shoppers to local business owners.
