Amazon announced it will open five new delivery stations across Saudi Arabia in Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Abha, and Dammam. The buildings, which total 36,000 sqm in area, will be fully operational in time for White Friday this year and will enable next day and same day deliveries, on orders placed before midnight, to customers based in these regions.
