Unsurprisingly, the location is beautiful and the store features a number of interesting technical solutions, including the 37.5-foot-high motorized "solar wings," which cool the store when the sun is hot and open up in the evening when the air is cooler. You can see the carbon fiber wings in their open state in the (apparently drone-filmed) video below.

Apple's Dubai Mall store is the company's third store in the United Arab Emirates, and the second one in Dubai, the other store being located at the Mall of the Emirates. Check out a couple of more photos of the store and its surroundings, below.
