No sales price has been discussed for the deal, first announced in March. However, Dubai's state-backed Emaar Malls PJSC announced it made an $800-million (roughly Rs. 5,207 crores) bid for Souq.com in a filing on the Dubai Financial Market just before Amazon closed its deal.

In buying Souq.com, Seattle-based Amazon will leapfrog into the crucial Mideast markets of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, where the retailer already has local operations.
