Almaria Island Apple Shop

The Apple Al Maryah Island store is located in Abu Dhabi's renowned financial district, occupying a prime waterfront location on the island. It is adjacent to The Galleria Al Maryah Island Mall and sits within a spacious shaded plaza beneath the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange building. The Apple Al Maryah Island store rises from the waterfront promenade. At night, the brilliantly lit Apple store appears like a glowing pearl floating on dark water, marking its presence as a unique new destination within the plaza. The store also has direct connections to the shopping mall and the waterfront, activating the public promenade and plaza areas. Apple Al Maryah Island is another collaboration between Apple's design team and the integrated architecture and engineering team at Foster + Partners. Stefan Behling, Partner at Foster + Partners, said: The design of Apple Al Maryah Island is intended to allow people to better appreciate Abu Dhabi's extraordinary skyline and to create a distinctive experiential path for visitors as they move between the water and the mirrored glass. Apple Al Maryah Island seeks to bring the vitality of the waterfront promenade into the store through a series of spaces, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior and creating an uplifting, inspiring new Apple store. The store features a pure, minimalist design that celebrates the breathtaking views of the Abu Dhabi skyline while providing a welcoming, open retail environment. The combination of water, light, and glass creates a sensory experience that is uniquely Abu Dhabi yet unmistakably Apple.
