Amazon Prime UAE Price 2026: Monthly and Yearly

Amazon Prime in the UAE costs AED 16 per month or AED 140 per year, both inclusive of VAT according to the membership fee page on amazon.ae. The site currently advertises a promotional rate of AED 8 a month for the first three months, renewing at AED 16 afterwards. The annual plan works out to about AED 11.7 a month, saving AED 52 against paying monthly for a full year. (Verified 24 September 2026.)

Which plan should you pick?

• Monthly suits anyone trying the service or shopping in specific seasons, and allows flexible cancellation or pausing.
• Annual is clearly cheaper if you order twice a month or more, watch Prime Video regularly, or use the included Deliveroo Plus.
• The promotion is the best fit for a first-time trial: three full months for just AED 24.

Accepted payment methods for buying the membership

The "About Amazon Prime" page on amazon.ae states that payment is taken by a valid credit or debit card, and that gift cards and cash on delivery cannot be used to buy the membership. This is an important difference from Amazon Saudi Arabia, which does accept gift card balance.

Amazon adds a note worth attention: if your preferred payment method is unavailable or expired, Amazon will use any other payment method available in your account to renew the subscription, because your initial sign-up grants it that permission.

Can you get Prime for less than AED 16?

Yes, through UAE telecom plans — a route that does not exist in the same form in other markets:

Operator	What is officially advertised	Condition
e&	Amazon Prime included with the eLife Ultra home internet plan	One subscription per eLife account, self-activated by the customer after installation, new subscriptions only
du	12 months of Amazon Prime with du Home Basic and above, and the Home Wireless Gaming and Entertainment plan	New home plan subscribers
du	12 months of Amazon Prime with selected Power plans on a 12-month contract	New postpaid subscribers; AED 16/month after the offer ends

Activation and cancellation details for each operator are in Amazon Prime subscription in the UAE.

Is the subscription worth it in the UAE?

Do the maths with the site's own numbers: the annual plan at AED 140 is about AED 11.7 a month, while standard delivery on non-qualifying orders starts at AED 10 per order. So a single monthly order below the threshold roughly covers the annual subscription. Add the included Deliveroo Plus membership, advertised at AED 228 a year, and that benefit alone is worth more than double the subscription for anyone who uses the service.

When are you charged, and how do you stop it?

Fees are taken automatically at the end of the membership period or free trial. To avoid renewal, open your Prime central page and choose "End membership on renewal (date)". Benefits stay active until the renewal date, then stop, with nothing charged. Full steps are in cancelling Amazon Prime in the UAE.

Before subscribing at the advertised price, check Amazon Prime promo codes for the UAE, which brings the direct promotion together with the e& and du offers in one comparison.
