Apple's latest job postings on its website hints it already has begun the hiring process for its first retail store in the Middle East, specifically the United Arab Emirates.
Apple has posted available positions including a Specialist, Store Leader, Manager, Genius, Market Leader and more. While there is no indication on when the store would open, previous hiring schedules would point to a February 2015 date for an opening.
