The range was already on sale in parts of Europe and Australia. Gulf News reported that orders are open now.\n\nAlongside the Meta Glasses debut, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 is also available to order in the UAE from Dh1,960. Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 and Oakley Meta were already sold locally, so the new models sit on top of products many residents will recognise.\n\n## What you can buy locally\n\nMeta Glasses arrive with several styles, including a new Ivory colourway based on the Starfire design linked to Kylie Jenner. A separate collection designed with LISA includes the Meta Adventurer LISA Edition (Moonlit Sky frame with Blush lenses) and the Meta Capri LISA Edition (an Eclipse cat-eye frame with grey lenses). Both LISA editions can take prescription lenses.\n\nMeta says the privacy signal stays the same: a capture LED blinks bright white whenever the wearer takes a photo or records video, so people nearby can see when the camera is on.\n\nRay-Ban Meta Gen 3 is pitched as a slimmer redesign with a customisable action button for quicker access to Meta AI and what Meta calls the longest battery life yet on a Ray-Ban Meta model. New frame choices include Aviator and Zena, according to Gulf News.\n\n## Muse and the wider Connect lineup\n\nMeta also described updates to Muse, its personal AI agent. Wearers would eventually be able to turn a spoken request into actions such as adding items to a shopping list or finding a meeting time and sending an invite. Muse is currently available only in the US, Canada and Mexico, with more markets planned. Gulf News said Meta did not give a UAE launch date.\n\nConnect also introduced Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses, Meta's first audio-focused pair. They weigh 43 grams and offer up to 12 hours of use on one charge, with up to another 48 hours from the charging case. Meta said the Audio line launches first in selected European markets; UAE availability was not announced in the briefing Gulf News summarised.\n\nMeta also previewed Meta VR Glasses for spring 2027 in Quest markets and said Meta Ray-Ban Display is expanding into more countries. Those are separate from the Meta Glasses and Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 orders that opened for UAE customers today.\n\n## Why the local launch matters\n\nUAE buyers have watched Meta's cheaper Meta Glasses line land elsewhere for months while Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta models sold here. Opening Meta Glasses from Dh1,160 lowers the entry price for residents who want AI features without paying Gen 3 money, and it lines the UAE up with other early expansion markets rather than leaving it on the waiting list.\n\nIf you are shopping, check Meta.com and authorised local retailers for stock, prescription options and exact frame availability. UAE order prices above follow Gulf News.","category":"uncategorized","category_url":"https://devodubai.com/category/uncategorized","author":"Editorial Team","author_url":"https://devodubai.com/editor/editorial-team","published_at":"2026-09-24T09:45:50","updated_at":null,"reading_time_minutes":3,"cover_image":"https://cms.devo.co/assets/6296f2de-42a6-4790-9fae-38a11998368b","source_count":1,"sources":[{"title":"Meta launches new AI glasses in UAE with prices starting at Dh1,160","source":"Gulf News","link":"https://gulfnews.com/business/retail/meta-launches-new-ai-glasses-in-uae-with-prices-starting-at-dh1160-1.500685934","domain":"gulfnews.com"}],"citation":{"text":"Devo Dubai. \"Meta Glasses launch in UAE from Dh1,160 with Ray-Ban Gen 3\".
