New Apple store set to open in Dubai

Dubai - The store will become a meeting point for the creative-minded people.

A new Apple retail store will open soon at Dubai Mall, a press release said. With over 80 million visitors to the mall every year, Apple Dubai Mall will have a front row view of key landmarks, Burj Khalifa and the world's largest fountain show.
The announcement came earlier this morning via the unveiling of a special barricade surrounding the two level storefront. With a concept titled 'Creativity. Connected.', the uniquely designed barricade tells the story of the creative community from start-ups, independent art galleries, and local app developers to boutiques, cafes, and food trucks.

Over 35 local enterprises are represented on the mural wall, creating one beautiful piece of art that illustrates the interconnected creative movement from across the country.
The store will become a meeting point for the creative-minded people, and a place of learning and inspiration that combines East and West. The concept is built on the essence of UAE as the Middle East's commercial and creative hub featuring a young and bold cosmopolitan city. Visitors will be able to create, collaborate, and experience the best of Apple, all in one place, the release added.
