Saudi Arabic Ads for Your Products: A Seller Guide

To make a Saudi ad for your product, start from a clear photo of it, write the caption the way your customers speak, and check the label, the offer and the size before you post. Lahjty (لهجتي) is an AI ad maker for small product sellers that does all three: it builds the ad image on your real product photo, writes the caption and headline in Saudi Arabic, and reads them in a Saudi voiceover.

Example Saudi ads made from a product photo

Each ad below started from one plain photo of a fictional product: the product stays as photographed, the scene around it is new, and the caption is written in everyday Saudi Arabic. These are samples that show the format, not results from Lahjty customers.

Saudi words that make a caption sound local

Swap the formal word for the one your customers use, and keep one register through the whole caption.

What makes an ad sound Saudi

Saudi shoppers can tell in the first line whether an ad was written for them or translated for them. A Saudi caption talks to one person, asks a short question and answers it with the product. It uses everyday words such as وش, تبي, الحين and مرة instead of their formal versions, so it sounds like a friend recommending something, not a company making an announcement. For products sold across the Kingdom, the safest choice is mainstream Saudi Arabic, the register heard in national ads and on social media, which people in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam all understand. Use strongly Hijazi or Southern words only when most of your buyers live in that region, and never mix registers in one caption: وش next to إيش sounds wrong to everyone.

How Lahjty writes Saudi captions

Lahjty's Saudi option writes mainstream Saudi Arabic built on Najdi forms that Saudis everywhere understand, and keeps Najdi and Hijazi forms apart within a caption. It keeps your product name exactly as it is written on the pack and uses only the prices and numbers in your product details or your brief. A caption that adds a price, a percentage or a currency you never gave, or a deadline or urgency you did not set, is rejected and rewritten once before you see it.

Write a short brief

An ad is only as good as what you tell it. Five short lines are enough:

  • The product name exactly as printed on the pack, and what the product is.
  • Who buys it, and whether the caption speaks to a man (تبي) or a woman (تبين).
  • One reason to buy: the taste, the scent, the comfort or its value as a gift.
  • The occasion, such as Ramadan, Eid, Founding Day, National Day or the wedding season.
  • Your offer only if it is real, with its last day.

Check these before you post

A good caption cannot save an ad that shows the wrong product or the wrong price. Before posting, check:

  • The product looks like your photo: its shape, colours, cap and packaging.
  • The name and logo on the label are spelled exactly as on the real product.
  • Every price, percentage and date matches your store and your offer.
  • A discount ad in Saudi Arabia shows the Ministry of Commerce discount licence number and the price before and after. Lahjty adds a saved licence number to the end of each caption as small print; check the Ministry's current rules before you run a discount.
  • The caption stays in one dialect from the first word to the last.

Sizes for Saudi platforms

Make the image in the shape of the place it will run. Use 4:5 portrait for Instagram and Facebook feeds, where it fills more of the screen than a square, and 9:16 for Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram Stories and Reels. Keep the headline and the product away from the top and bottom of a 9:16 image, where apps place their buttons and the account name. If you post the same product on several platforms, make one feed version and one story version instead of cropping one image to fit both, and add the Saudi voiceover to the story or Reel so it works with the sound on.

How to make a Saudi ad in Lahjty

  1. Add your product

    Upload a clear product photo, paste a product link, or import your Salla, Zid, Shopify or WooCommerce store in Products. Every ad then starts from the same saved name, price and photos.

  2. Pick the platform and size

    Choose 4:5 for Instagram and Facebook feeds, 9:16 for stories, Reels, TikTok and Snapchat, or 1:1 for a square post, or start from a ready ad style.

  3. Choose Saudi Arabic

    Set the caption language to Saudi Arabic and add a short brief. A saved offer, such as a discount or a gift, can be included, and its numbers are checked in every caption.

  4. Get the ad image

    Lahjty builds a new scene around your real product photo and keeps the label, logo and packaging. Each new image is checked before saving; if it is still wrong after one redraw, it is not saved and your credits come back.

  5. Add the caption and voiceover

    Write captions and headlines in Saudi Arabic from the same product, then turn your favourite into a voiceover read in a Saudi voice for Reels, stories and TikTok.

FAQ

How do I make a Saudi ad for my product?

Start from a clear photo of the product, choose the size for your platform, and write the caption in everyday Saudi Arabic with one reason to buy and a clear next step. Then check the product, the label and any offer before posting. In Lahjty you add the product once by photo, link or store import, pick Saudi Arabic, and get an ad image built on your real photo, captions and headlines in Saudi Arabic, and a Saudi voiceover.

Should my ad use Najdi or Hijazi Arabic?

For most products sold across Saudi Arabia, use mainstream Saudi Arabic, the register of national ads and social media, which is built on Najdi forms and understood everywhere in the Kingdom. Choose Hijazi words only when most of your buyers are in Jeddah, Makkah or Madinah and you want a local feel. Whichever you choose, keep one register through the whole caption.

Will my product look the same in the ad?

Yes. Lahjty builds the new scene around your own product photo and keeps the product, its label and its packaging as they are. Every new ad image is read back before it is saved: the product is compared with your photo and the printed text with the approved words. If it is still wrong after one redraw, the image is not saved and your credits come back.

What does a discount ad in Saudi Arabia need?

A discount ad in Saudi Arabia is expected to show the Ministry of Commerce discount licence number and the price before and after the discount, so check the Ministry's current rules before you run one. In Lahjty you can save a discount on the product with its licence number and last day. Captions then state the offer with its real numbers and end with the licence number as small print, and a caption with a different number or date is rejected and rewritten.

Can Lahjty read my Salla, Zid or Shopify store?

Yes. In Products you can import a Salla, Zid, Shopify or WooCommerce store, or another store that publishes a sitemap and product data. You can also add one product by its link or from your photos. Each saved product keeps its name, price, photos and one optional offer for every ad and caption.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. New accounts get 15 free credits, enough for their first 3 ad images, with no card needed. The same credits cover ad images, captions and voiceovers, so you can see your own product in Saudi Arabic ads before choosing a plan.
