Apple could open a couple of new Apple Stores in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In the case of Dubai, it is possible that those from Cupertino could open at the end of this year, and for the Abu Dhabi store it would be for 2016.
According to what Ahmad Al-Hosani explained, director of the trade registry of the country's Ministry of Economy to Bloomberg, Apple has the necessary permits to open its two new stores and it is rather a matter of time before they arrive.
It is normal for a Minister to come out approving these stores since in the United Arab Emirates, there is a law that says that 51% of the industry or business that intends to open any type of economic activity in the area it must belong to the country, and obviously Apple does not meet this requirement. Precisely last year and during the month of August there was also talk about the store in Dubai, but in the end it did not come and that is why the authorities intend to modify this law that affects foreign companies and more specifically Apple, so that they can carry out the opening of these two new Apple Stores.
Now it is expected that this project will continue to advance firmly and Apple may have an official Apple Store before the end of the year. Dubai and more specifically the spectacular centro comercial de la ciudad, Mall of the Emirates siguen esperando .
