Price Outlook

+2.3%official forecast for consumer prices this year in UAE

At this pace, an item you put off for a year costs roughly 2.3% more, which is why a marked sale month beats waiting for prices to fall.

This is the official price index for the whole market, not this store’s own prices. Individual products move faster or slower than the index, and a sale beats the index either way.

Buyer Guide

How to get the most out of Shahid

Reviewed by the Savooh Deals Team

Shahid started in 2008 as MBC Shahid Online, a free service letting MBC viewers catch up on its own TV shows, and only became a paid subscription tier called Shahid VIP in 2014. Its free, ad-supported catalogue of MBC content remains distinct from the paid original-series tier.

A free MBC catch-up tier and a paid VIP tier are different products

Because Shahid began as a free way to rewatch MBC broadcasts and only added Shahid VIP as a separate paid subscription in 2014, a discount on one tier does not necessarily apply to the other, and free-tier content is generally MBC back-catalogue rather than exclusive originals.

About Shahid : the full picture

Shahid launched in 2008 as MBC Shahid Online, created by MBC Group, the broadcaster founded by Saudi businessman Waleed Al-Ibrahim, to let viewers watch its television programming on their own schedule.

It expanded to a dedicated site in 2009, launched an app in 2012 that topped MENA app store charts within a week, and only introduced its premium subscription tier, first called Shahid PLUS and now Shahid VIP, in 2014, meaning the platform's free and paid layers serve genuinely different catalogues rather than one product with two price points.

Shopping Tips

Save smarter at Shahid.

Tactics our deal team uses every week to extract maximum value.

Count the streaming services you already pay for

The UAE market carries Netflix, OSN+, StarzPlay and Shahid side by side, and most households pay for more than they watch. The largest saving here is cancelling one, not discounting another.

Annual billing is the structural discount

Paying yearly rather than monthly is a fixed reduction available without a code. If the subscription outlasts Ramadan, that is the number to take.

Check du and etisalat bundles first

UAE operators fold streaming subscriptions into home and mobile packages. Paying separately for something already inside your plan is the most common avoidable cost here.

Arabic originals are the reason to hold it

Against Netflix, the argument is MBC's Arabic drama and regional originals rather than breadth. Judge it on the catalogue you would actually open, since that is where the two do not overlap.

The free tier still exists

Shahid began in 2008 as free catch-up, and that layer carries broadcast content without a subscription. Try it for a month before paying if your viewing is mostly MBC channels.

Alert the Ramadan campaigns

Subscription offers cluster around Ramadan and year end. An alert catches them without checking.

What people ask about Shahid coupons

Is Shahid worth it alongside Netflix?

It depends on Arabic content. Shahid carries MBC's drama slate and regional originals, which Netflix does not, so the two overlap less than their price tags suggest.

How do I pay less for Shahid in the UAE?

Take the annual plan instead of monthly, and check whether du or etisalat already bundles it into your package. Both beat a promo code.

When did Shahid start charging?

The paid VIP tier launched in 2014, six years after the service began in 2008 as free MBC catch-up. That free layer still exists.
