Apple Strengthens Gulf Presence with Saudi Online Store
SAUDI ARABIA, JUL 22 – Apple offers Arabic language support, flexible payment plans, and educational discounts with its new online store and app, marking a major retail expansion in Saudi Arabia.
- On July 22, 2025, Apple launched its online store and Apple Store app in Riyadh, offering direct Arabic support and full product access in Saudi Arabia.

- Additionally, customers can trade in or recycle devices and use Tamara’s zero-interest payment plan, while select products receive free bilingual engraving.
- In addition, Deirdre O’Brien said `We are thrilled to bring the Apple Store online and the Apple Store app to Saudi Arabia`, and support benefits include two years of AppleCare+ priority support.
- Starting in 2026, Apple plans flagship retail openings in Saudi Arabia, including a Diriyah store at a UNESCO World Heritage site.
