Apple plans to open a new store – its first in the region – in Dubai, a report said, adding that the company recently posted a job listing for a retail manager for UAE on its website.

While Apple has retail stores in the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and Turkey, it opened the Apple Online Store, UAE in 2011, offering  iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac products, added the report in Gulf News.

“The UAE is an important country for Apple. It’s one of our fastest growing markets around the world. We look forward to opening a physical store in the region and sharing Apple’s unique shopping experience and services that have been incredibly popular around the world in the near future,” a company spokesperson was quoted as saying in the report.
