Why is Amazon Prime so cheap in Egypt?
In addition to the exchange rate, another reason why Amazon Prime subscription prices in Egypt are so cheap is that the number of Prime Video movies is smaller than in other countries.
According to foreign media Comparitech According to the latest statistics, the total number of Prime Video movies in Egypt is 1,605, while that in neighboring Japan is as high as 8,608. The difference is several times higher. Egypt is also the least among all countries with Amazon Prime.
So it may happen that the movie you want to watch is not available in Egypt, but is available in other countries. But it’s so cheap, I think it’s still acceptable.
Amazon Prime annual subscription in Egypt saves money
If you want to save more and feel that Prime Video has a lot of movies you want to watch, you may consider changing your monthly subscription to an annual subscription.
A monthly subscription is 29 Egyptian pounds, and a full year costs 348 Egyptian pounds, about NT$237. If you change to an annual subscription, it will become 249 Egyptian pounds per year, saving 100 Egyptian pounds (about NT$68), which means that you only need to spend about NT$170 to watch Egypt Prime Video for a whole year + 30 days for free.
The change method is also very simple. Open the menu in the upper right corner and enter Your Prime Membership:
Open Save EGP 99.00 with annual plan above to switch to adult subscription:
