Amazon operates directly in the UAE through Amazon.ae, which replaced Souq.com in 2019.

• Offers COD (cash on delivery)

• Supports Arabic and English

• Ships within 1–2 days locally

Ordering from Amazon US, UK, or India to UAE

If you’re browsing Amazon.com, Amazon.in, or Amazon.co.uk, you can still order select items to the UAE via Amazon Global Shipping but with conditions:

You’ll see “This item ships to United Arab Emirates” during checkout if it’s available.
