Souq, a Dubai-based online marketplace, announced the launch of the Amazon Global Store on Monday, offering its customers in the UAE the ability to shop for over one million Amazon products.

The products from Amazon are primarily intended to supplement key areas where Souq is lacking in selection, including fashion and apparel, according to Souq chief executive Ronaldo Mouchawar, speaking to Gulf News in an interview.

 

The Souq store will eventually hold “many millions of Amazon products,” he added.

“This brings global selection closer to our customers in the region, and we will continue to grow this further,” Mouchawar said in a separate statement. 

Souq customers will have the choice of ordering with priority shipping, meaning their purchase will arrive between two to five business days, or expedited shipping, with a delivery time of six to ten days.

All prices will be inclusive of import fees and taxes and checkout, said Mouchawar, to avoid the hassle of people having to pay for their package to clear customs.
