google adds arabic ai music creation for ramadan

Google has released Lyria 3, its latest generative music model from DeepMind, in Arabic beta worldwide through Gemini, with mobile access rolling out over the next few days.

The update lets users create 30-second tracks by typing a simple prompt. A request such as “an upbeat, modern Arabic fusion track for Ramadan” produces a short composition within seconds, with optional lyrics or as an instrumental.

The Ramadan timing is deliberate, as Google is positioning Gemini as a tool for personalized audio greetings and quick-share content in Arabic. Alongside music, users can generate customized Ramadan greeting cards using NanoBanana, Gemini’s image generation and editing model, via a dedicated microsite available in English and Arabic.

Lyria 3 works in three ways. Users can generate tracks from text prompts describing a mood or theme. They can upload photos or videos and have Gemini compose lyrics and music to match the visuals. Each track comes with auto-generated cover art from NanoBanana and can be downloaded or shared by link.

Google is clear about the intent. “The goal of these tracks isn’t to create a musical masterpiece, but rather to give you a unique way to express yourself,” the company said.

All audio generated in the Gemini app is embedded with SynthID, Google’s watermarking technology for identifying AI-created content. Users can also upload a file and ask Gemini whether it was generated using Google AI, with the system checking for SynthID and applying its own detection methods.

The model is designed for original output, not imitation. If a prompt names a specific artist, Gemini treats it as general stylistic inspiration and applies filters to avoid reproducing existing material.

For Google, the Arabic rollout signals a continued push to localize generative AI for regional audiences. As MENA markets accelerate digital adoption under programs such as Vision 2030, culturally tuned AI features are becoming a practical entry point for mass use.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

a three-clinic network bets dubai is ready for longevity medicine

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
