What's available
Amazon Prime Video in the UAE gives you access to a solid library of content, including many of the platform's biggest originals. You can watch The Boys, Reacher, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jack Ryan, and Fallout. Popular films like Air, The Idea of You, and Road House (2024) are also available. Bollywood content is strong, with a wide selection through Prime Video's Indian library tie-in, including films like Animal and series like Mirzapur. Arabic-language content has been growing too, with regional productions accessible to UAE subscribers.
What you're missing
Compared to the US library, the UAE catalogue has noticeable gaps. You won't find Patriot, several seasons of Transparent, or the full back catalogue of licensed films that rotate through the US version. Some comedy specials and older licensed titles are region-locked out. Certain Prime Video channels available in the US — like Paramount+ add-on or MGM+ — are either unavailable or limited in the UAE. Licensing restrictions also mean some theatrical releases arrive later or not at all in your region.
How to access other regions
A VPN lets you change your apparent location so Amazon Prime Video serves you the library of another country. To access the US library, connect your VPN to a United States server, then open Prime Video. The platform will treat you as a US-based user and unlock the full American catalogue.
We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It consistently bypasses Amazon Prime Video's geo-blocks, offers fast streaming speeds, and has multiple US server options to choose from. It also works reliably on mobile, smart TVs, and browsers.
Pricing
Amazon Prime Video in the UAE is available as part of an Amazon Prime membership, currently priced at around AED 29 per month or AED 199 per year. A standalone Prime Video subscription without full Prime benefits is also offered at a lower rate. Pricing can change, so check the Amazon UAE website for the latest figures.
Our recommendation
If you're in the UAE, Amazon Prime Video is worth subscribing to — you get strong originals and a growing regional library at a reasonable price. But if you want access to the full US catalogue with no missing titles, pairing your subscription with NordVPN is the smartest move. Connect to a US server before you browse, and you'll unlock everything you're currently being blocked from without changing your existing plan.
