Ramadan on Amazon UAE shifts when and what people shop: activity moves towards the evening after iftar and late into the night, and searches move towards food, home, gifting and Eid clothing. The PPC plan that works starts a week or two before Ramadan, keeps budgets from running out before the evening, adds occasion keywords, and carries through to Eid al-Fitr rather than stopping mid-month.
Amazon Ads publishes Middle East insights and a Ramadan event page for advertisers, and the search results for 'amazon uae ppc ramadan' are dominated by it and by Dubai agencies. The pattern they all describe is the same: daytime shopping drops, evening and late-night shopping rises, and the month builds towards Eid. The only cost figure in our research is from Meta, where CPMs rise 40 to 70% in Ramadan; it is not Amazon data, but it shows that advertisers compete harder for the same attention.
Blooprint's Ramadan GCC seller playbook covers deals, stock and pricing across Amazon and noon. This page is the Amazon.ae ads plan.
Add Ramadan and Eid keywords: 'ramadan decoration', 'iftar', 'dates gift box', 'eid gift', 'eid dress', and their Arabic forms. Launch them in a separate campaign so they can be switched off cleanly.
Watch when campaigns run out of budget. If they stop in the afternoon, they miss the evening peak. Raise budgets on the best campaigns rather than bids.
Hold. Harvest converting terms from the auto campaign into exact match. Lower bids on generic daytime terms that do not convert in the evening pattern.
Gifting and clothing peak. Raise budgets on Eid terms and keep delivery dates in mind: once the promised delivery lands after Eid, gift terms stop converting.
Hold for seven days for attribution, then pause the Ramadan campaigns and keep them for next year.
The console does not schedule bids by hour, and BlooprintAI does not either. What you can control is budget. A campaign with a budget sized for a normal day will often be spent by the evening during Ramadan, which is the worst time to go dark. Two options: raise the daily budget so it lasts, or use Amazon's budget rules to raise budgets for the Ramadan date range. Check the budget report after the first week to see which campaigns went out of budget and how often.
Do not read ACoS day by day during the month. Sales are attributed for seven days after the click, and evening shoppers who browse on one night often buy on the next. Judge each week once the following week has passed, and compare Ramadan with the same weeks of last year rather than with the month before.
A Ramadan plan means adding a campaign set, raising budgets twice, harvesting keywords weekly and pausing at the end. BlooprintAI creates the campaign set from one CSV, lets you filter campaigns by budget utilisation and change budgets in bulk after reviewing a summary, and shows search terms with orders across all campaigns in one table. It covers Amazon UAE alongside India under the same plan. There is no dayparting and no automatic bidding; you make each change.
Filter every keyword and target by ACoS, CPC, CVR or spend and change bids in one go.

Amazon does not publish Ramadan CPC data. Meta reports CPMs 40 to 70% higher during Ramadan, and competition on Amazon follows a similar pattern, so budget for higher costs.
Shopping shifts towards the evening after iftar and late at night. Make sure campaign budgets last into the evening rather than running out in the afternoon.
The Amazon Ads console does not schedule bids by hour. Use budget rules for the Ramadan date range and size budgets to last the day. BlooprintAI does not offer dayparting either.
Hold for about seven days after Eid so attributed sales finish arriving, then pause the Ramadan campaigns and keep them for next year.
