US technology major Apple will open a new store at Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi, taking the number of outlets in the UAE to four.

The iPhone maker is currently operating stores at the Mall of the Emirates, the Dubai Mall and the Yas Mall.

“A new Apple Store will open its doors in a location that sits at the heart of Abu Dhabi's Al Maryah Island. Apple Al Maryah Island will have a front-row view of the waterfront promenade and will be a home for customers to explore their creativity, discover new products, and receive the best support from the new retail team,” Apple said in a statement to Khaleej Times on Thursday.

On Thursday, Apple unveiled a special barricade surrounding the storefront.

“With a concept of ‘creativity shines within’, the uniquely designed barricade pays tribute to pearls and pearl divers, and what they represent for Abu Dhabi’s history and culture.
