Meta launches new AI glasses in UAE with prices starting at Dh1,160

Dubai: UAE residents can now purchase Meta Glasses, with starting prices set at Dh1,160 after their debut at Meta Connect 2026. The UAE is among four fresh markets receiving Meta Glasses, joining Singapore, South Korea, and Mexico, expanding a lineup already accessible in parts of Europe and Australia. Meta has also enabled UAE orders for Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3, the upgraded version of its Ray-Ban AI glasses, priced from Dh1,960. These launches complement Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 and Oakley Meta, already on sale locally.

UAE buyers will find Meta Glasses in various styles, including a new Ivory hue based on the Starfire design linked to Kylie Jenner. Additionally, the company introduces a Meta Glasses collection crafted with LISA, featuring the Meta Adventurer LISA Edition with a Moonlit Sky frame and Blush lenses, and the Meta Capri LISA Edition with an Eclipse cat-eye frame and grey lenses.

Both models accommodate prescription lenses. Meta maintains the glasses' existing privacy features, such as a capture LED that flashes bright white when a photo or video is captured, alerting those nearby.

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 is also available for UAE customers from today, boasting a slimmer design, an action button for faster access to Meta AI and other features, and the longest battery life among Ray-Ban Meta models. New frame options include Aviator and Zena. Meanwhile, Meta is expanding the Muse personal AI agent, currently available in the US, Canada, and Mexico with plans to roll out to more regions.

Muse Realtime Avatar enables real-time video chats with the AI assistant, while Muse can operate apps directly on a Mac and has its own email for task execution. Meta plans to incorporate Muse into its AI glasses, allowing users to transform conversations into actions like adding items to a shopping list or scheduling meetups. The UAE launch date for Muse remains undisclosed.

Additionally, Meta unveiled its broadest AI glasses assortment to date, with over 100 styles from Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Meta Glasses expected by year-end. Among the new products are Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses, Meta's inaugural audio-focused glasses, weighing 43 grams and offering up to 12 hours of use per charge, with an extra 48 hours via the charging case.

These models come in Clubmaster and Burbank styles, 23 color and lens combinations, and support prescription lenses. Meta plans to initially release Audio glasses in selected European markets, without mentioning UAE availability in the Connect 2026 announcement.
