Apple is reportedly planning to open its biggest store ever in Dubai's Mall of the Emirates, according to EDGAR.

After regional media picked up on UAE-based job advertisements by the Californian company, we have insider knowledge that the Majid Al Futtaim owned mall will become home to Apple’s first flagship in the Middle East. Our undisclosed source said that the store – which will be the biggest Apple has ever built – was originally planned to replace the current cinema complex.

Apple job postings have been spotted for 13 positions in the United Arab Emirates including business managers, store leaders, inventory specialists, technical leads and iTunes interns.

The timing of the listings suggest that Apple could be targeting a Q1 2015 date for the store's opening.

Do you have an apple store in Israel? if not, why not? You limit your population of technies. This looks like a political move which I don't think Apple should engage in. I don't need a reason to stop supporting Apple which I have done since 1984.

In related news, Apple is bored and does not know what to do with its ton of cash, while millions continue to starve around the globe.

Best place for Apple to advertise and prosper. There were no company stores in the gulf region. About time.

My slaves spew all the hate they want, I'm the one educating them, there isn't as much anyway due to my wannabe junk not outselling.

No one cares. It's going to be a smelly store anyways.

for starters the picture you have posted is a picture of Emirates Mall not Dubai Mall.

The title says "Dubai's Mall of the Emirates". Like you, I first misread it as "Dubai Mall".
