Streaming in the Middle East and North Africa
A lot of FlickFinder's visitors are in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco and their neighbours, and they often find that a film everyone is talking about online isn't on their streaming apps. Here's what the big international services look like across the region, based on the catalogue data we collect every day. These figures are from early November 2026.
Netflix is the biggest by a wide margin
Netflix has a catalogue in every country in the table below, and that catalogue is almost identical from one country to the next: about 7,600 movies and shows in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Kuwait, and about 7,700 in Morocco and Tunisia. That's a little smaller than the typical Netflix country worldwide, which has about 8,300 titles.
Prime Video is the second biggest everywhere, but it's much smaller here than in the US or UK. In Saudi Arabia it has about 2,050 titles, against about 25,600 in the US. Apple TV is offered in some countries in the region, with a few hundred titles.
| Country | Netflix | Prime Video | Apple TV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | 7,575 | 2,053 | 326 |
| UAE | 7,579 | 2,064 | 329 |
| Egypt | 7,594 | 2,108 | 330 |
| Jordan | 7,579 | 2,133 | 327 |
| Iraq | 7,581 | 2,130 | Not in our data |
| Kuwait | 7,576 | 2,132 | Not in our data |
| Morocco | 7,674 | 2,323 | Not in our data |
| Tunisia | 7,679 | 2,326 | Not in our data |
Movies and TV shows included with a standard subscription, early November 2026. "Not in our data" means our data source has no catalogue for that service there.
Several big US services aren't listed at all
In our data, none of the countries above has a catalogue for Disney+, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+ or Starz. Much of what those studios make is licensed to other services in the region instead, so a show that's on Max in the US may turn up somewhere else here, or nowhere. Searching the title on FlickFinder shows exactly where it is.
Regional services matter more here
Local and regional platforms fill a lot of the gap. Shahid VIP, for example, shows up in our data for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, often carrying films that aren't on any of the big international services in the region. FlickFinder lists services like these under "Also available regionally" on each title page, but only when they actually have the title.
A note on Algeria
Our data source doesn't currently list a catalogue for the big international services in Algeria, so our Algeria pages show fewer services than you may actually have. Regional services such as Shahid VIP do appear. If you're in Algeria, it's worth checking the service's own app as well.
What this means when you're looking for something
- Start with Netflix. It has by far the most titles in the region.
- Don't assume a US release is available. A film on Max, Disney+ or Peacock in the US is licensed separately here, if at all.
- Check regional services. They often have films the international ones don't.
