Global tech giant Apple opened its brand new store in Abu Dhabi’s Yas Mall on Thursday.
Nearly double the size of their first store in the emirate that opened in 2015, the store is situated in a prime corner location at the mall’s town square, featuring a stunning curved glass exterior and integrating over 150 feet of glass throughout the storefront.
“With the opening of the newly expanded Apple Yas Mall, our team is ready to welcome even more of Abu Dhabi’s incredibly diverse and innovative community to this beautiful new space,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “We look forward to continuing to bring the best of Apple to the UAE, and building on our history in the region.”
On its website, Apple said it is “currently open for shopping by reserving a one-on-one session with a Specialist, and Genius Support by making an appointment”.
