Apple has officially launched its own online store and Apple Store app in Saudi Arabia, now fully available in Arabic. This is a big move for Saudi shoppers, as they can now buy Apple products directly from Apple—not through resellers.
What’s New for Shoppers in Saudi Arabia?
- Buy Directly from Apple
Until now, people in Saudi Arabia had to buy Apple products from third-party sellers. Now, they can shop directly through Apple’s website or app, just like in many other countries. - Support in Arabic
The website, app, and customer support are now available in Arabic, making it easier for local users to understand and get help. - Free Engraving in Arabic & English
Apple is offering free engraving on products like AirPods, Apple Pencil, and AirTags. You can add your name, numbers, or even emojis in Arabic or English—at no extra cost. - Personalized Shopping Experience
The Apple Store app now provides a shopping experience tailored to each user. It gives product recommendations, lets you compare devices, save favorites, and track your orders—all in Arabic.
What’s Next for Apple in Saudi Arabia?
- Apple Stores Coming in 2026
Apple plans to open physical stores in the Kingdom, starting with a flagship store in Diriyah by 2026. - Support for Local Developers
Apple already runs the Apple Developer Academy in Riyadh, which opened in 2021. It trains local talent, including women in tech, in partnership with Saudi institutions and the government. - Part of a Bigger Trend
Many global tech companies are investing in Saudi Arabia. Apple’s move fits with the Kingdom’s vision to become a global tech hub.
What Apple Says
Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s Senior Vice President, said:
“We are excited to bring the Apple Store online and the app to Saudi Arabia. We can’t wait to connect with our customers and show them how Apple products can make their daily lives better.”
Apple is now officially in Saudi Arabia—with direct shopping, Arabic language support, and plans for physical stores soon. It’s a big step forward for both Apple and Saudi customers.
