A day before the official opening, Apple invited local press to tour its latest retail store within the Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates. Headline features include views of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and a 180-feet wide motorized window comprising 18 carbon fiber panels.

The store will also provide great views of another Dubai attraction …

Each evening, there is a spectacular evening fountain show directly outside the store, and Apple is inviting visitors to use that 18-foot wide opening window to view the display. Video of the fountain display can be seen below.

Apple’s announcement of the opening also focuses on its rebranded and expanded store workshops, Today at Apple. This initiative was revealed in a CBS interview yesterday.

These will be run by Creative Pros, a new position we first discovered in August of last year.

The motorized windows look pretty spectacular.

Here’s a look at the fountain display visitors will be able to enjoy from the store. I’ve viewed it myself from ground level, and I think the Apple Store will provide an even better angle.
