A major new partnership between Amazon Saudi Arabia and Abdullah Al‑Othaim Markets is set to transform online grocery shopping in the Kingdom. Customers in Riyadh and Jeddah will now be able to order thousands of fresh produce items, packaged groceries and household essentials through Amazon’s app — backed by Al-Othaim’s extensive retail network — and receive same-day delivery. The move combines Amazon’s sophisticated logistics infrastructure, including temperature-controlled vehicles and AI-enabled inventory management, with Al-Othaim’s trusted brand and local footprint, offering a new level of convenience, variety and speed to Saudi consumers.
This service launch aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s broader push under Vision 2030 to digitise retail and elevate e-commerce. For shoppers in the UAE and Gulf region, it signals how fast-growing Gulf markets are upgrading everyday services and how regional retail giants are evolving to meet demand. Prime members in eligible zones will benefit from free delivery above a certain order value, while all users can expect competitive pricing, promotions and a seamless returns process.
