Get Ready For Amazon Prime Day — July 11 & 12, 2023
Historically, the two-day sale offers some of the best deals of the year, especially on Amazon-branded products.
Are you ready to snap up a selection of bargains from one of the biggest sale events of the year? If you have cash burning a hole in your wallet and can’t wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, get ready for Amazon Prime Day, taking place on July 11 and 12.
The huge sale by the world’s most popular eCommerce platform kicks off at 11:00 in the UAE (10:00 in Saudi Arabia) on Tuesday, July 11, with huge discounts offered to Amazon Prime members on a wide range of products.
We have yet to hear details about what will be on sale, but based on past Prime Days, Amazon’s own range of devices are likely to see the largest discounts. Last year, Amazon began offering great deals on Echo speakers, Alexa-enabled devices, and Eero routers in late June, so keep a close eye out for bargains as we countdown to the main event.
In addition to physical products, we’re expecting discounts on Prime Video and Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions, plus invite-only deals allowing Prime members to sign up in advance for offers that are expected to sell out.

Although readers are probably most interested in grabbing a tech bargain, there will also likely be plenty of great deals to be had on homeware, toys, beauty products, and most other product categories.
Prime Day will be available to Prime members in 25 countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, in the MENA region.
