Amazon UAE has introduced Amazon Bazaar, a budget‑friendly shopping hub embedded within the Amazon.ae mobile app, offering users a curated selection of fashion, lifestyle and homeware products—most priced at AED 25 or less, with some deals dropping to AED 4.
The new Bazaar section operates independently within the app, featuring its own search, cart and checkout systems. Launched in beta for select UAE customers, it is set for a broader rollout in the coming weeks.
According to Stefano Martinelli, Vice‑President for Amazon Middle East and North Africa, Amazon Bazaar aims to transform low‑cost e‑commerce in the region. The experience is designed to be vibrant and engaging, allowing shoppers to discover affordable trends and complete purchases with ease. Prices start as low as AED 4, with most items across multiple categories priced under AED 25.
As a launch incentive, customers will receive 25 per cent off all Amazon Bazaar orders during the first month after the rollout, with additional volume-based discounts—5 per cent off orders above AED 150 and 10 per cent off above AED 300. Free delivery is available for orders reaching AED 90, and items typically arrive within six to twelve days. Most products also include a 15‑day free‑returns policy.
E‑commerce analysts observe that the UAE market, which is projected to exceed US $13.8 billion by 2029, is increasingly competitive. Amazon’s Bazaar offering positions it to capture consumers seeking affordability without sacrificing convenience. The platform’s intuitive interface addresses the growing demand for friction‑less, value-driven shopping experiences.
Industry observers note that Bazaar’s independent search and checkout features enable faster browsing cycles and encourage impulse buys, especially given the psychologically appealing low‑price anchor of AED 4. Tiered discounts further nudge larger cart sizes, reinforcing basket‑building behaviour in consumers.
To access Bazaar, users simply update their Amazon.ae app, tap the “Bazaar” icon or enter “Bazaar” in the search field. It is also accessible via mobile browser at amazon.ae/bazaar.
For now, availability is limited to a beta group of UAE customers. Full access will be granted in stages. Amazon emphasises Bazaar’s underlying reliability, mirroring the parent platform’s delivery and return protocols, assuring users of a trustworthy shopping environment.
With its bold move into the ultra‑low‑price segment, Amazon is expanding into a space traditionally occupied by value‑oriented marketplaces. Bazaar undercuts conventional discount retailers, packing everything from trendy accessories to home essentials into a compact, digital storefront tailored for cost‑conscious UAE consumers.
Marketing messaging hints that customer feedback during the beta phase will shape Bazaar’s evolution—adding products, refining the interface and expanding discount ranges. Martinelli stated the team “look forward to customer feedback as we continue to enhance and expand the selection, helping them save more while they shop.”
