Apple begins selling iTunes gift cards in United Arab Emirates ahead of first Apple Store opening

Apple has started selling iTunes gift cards in electronics retailers throughout the United Arab Emirates, according to photos posted by AbsoluteGeek.com. This is the first time these cards have been available in this market.

The change is part of a larger move into the region by Apple’s retail arm, which began hiring for an upcoming Apple Store in Dubai several months ago. Some are saying that the upcoming Dubai store could become the largest in the world as Apple continues its push into new territories.

  1. I live in the UAE, and all authorized resellers are now required to have Arabic display posters. They’re using Myriad Arabic font, which is beautiful. (Started on launch of iPhone 6.)
    First Apple Store to be opened in Mall of the Emirates. #Excitement!
