Apple's Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook on Saturday paid a surprise visit to the UAE's first official Apple retail store that opened in October in Dubai.

At the store Cook met customers and employees and briefly discussed the latest trends around Apple's flagship products iPhone, iPad and iMacs, Xinhua news agency reported.

Cook made the stop while returning from India where he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Cook met business persons including Sunil Mittal, chairman of Bharti Airtel, one of India's leading telecommunication companies, and launched an updated version of the 'Narendra Modi Mobile App' while in India.

In October, the UAE opened two official stores for the Cupertino, California-based technology giant.
