The world's first AI-native travel infrastructure: Wingie Enuygun Group launches MCP server
Turning Language into Travel
WEG's MCP implementation goes beyond providing information. It enables AI models to perform tasks such as flight searches, hotel filtering, car rental, and querying booking history.
Hakan Kanar, CTO of Wingie Enuygun Group, shares his vision:
'With mcp.enuygun.com, we've unlocked our travel infrastructure for AI. Whether it's a language model or an independent agent, AI can now interact with our MCP server to execute operations directly on our platform. This creates a seamless connection between intelligent models and real-world travel services.'
Real-Time Execution via Simple Commands
Users can perform travel operations with plain-language commands such as 'Find a flight to Berlin,' 'Check the weather for my bus trip,' or 'List my recent bookings.' AI assistants send these requests to the MCP server, which processes each task live within the WEG ecosystem.
Setting a New Standard in the Travel Industry
WEG's MCP implementation is a game-changer for travel automation, enabling AI models to complete transactions, not just offer recommendations. With more than 30 real-time travel tools, WEG is the first online travel marketplace with an AI-native travel infrastructure.

Why it's easier now for Dubai tenants to become homeowners
Dubai's property market is undergoing a transformation. Once seen as a playground for global investors and luxury buyers, it's now increasingly accessible for everyday residents, especially first-time homeowners. Thanks to a combination of new government policies, flexible market offerings and an evolving investment landscape, owning a home in Dubai has never been more achievable. At the heart of this transformation are two major initiatives: the first-time home buyer programme, launched in July, and the expanded golden visa incentives linked to property ownership. Together, they are reshaping how people approach home ownership and real estate investment in the UAE. The former, a joint initiative from Dubai Land Department and the Department of Economy and Tourism, is a game changer. For the first time, residents who had viewed home ownership as out of reach now have access to tailored mortgage products, priority launch access, preferential pricing and flexible payment plans, all designed to make buying a home more achievable. One of the most important market trends supporting this shift is the rise of off-plan property sales. These transactions make up most of the residential activity in Dubai, and for good reason. With lower entry prices, extended payment structures and the appeal of buying into new, modern communities, off-plan developments offer a smart starting point for first-time buyers. Off-plan apartment transactions in Dubai in the second quarter of this year surged 43 per cent quarter-on-quarter to Dh60.2 billion ($16.4 billion), representing a 37 per cent annual increase, according to estate agency Betterhomes' residential market report. Buyers are not only responding to attractive pricing but also to developer reliability, construction speed and long-term lifestyle value. For most people, buying a home is the biggest financial decision they'll make. Unlike rent, which is a sunk cost, a mortgage builds equity. With Dubai's population growing at more than 10 per cent annually and infrastructure investment continuing to expand, residential property values are well-positioned to appreciate. Property ownership also acts as a hedge against inflation. As the global cost of living continues to rise, locking in fixed mortgage payments in a stable currency environment like the UAE offers peace of mind. Meanwhile, rental prices in Dubai have been steadily increasing, which makes buying even more financially compelling. Another powerful incentive is Dubai's tax environment. There are no property taxes, no inheritance taxes and no capital gains taxes on residential property. In many global cities, these costs can significantly reduce the return on investment. The link between property ownership and residency has further enhanced Dubai's appeal. Buyers who invest Dh750,000 or more qualify for a renewable two-year residency visa. Those who invest Dh2 million or more are eligible for the 10-year golden visa, an increasingly popular route for long-term expats, entrepreneurs and retirees seeking lifestyle and financial stability. Of course, the value of a home isn't just measured in price per square metre or return on investment. Dubai continues to deliver on the intangibles that matter such as safety, infrastructure, health care, education and connectivity. Ranked among the safest cities globally, with a world-class transportation network and rapidly growing business hubs, Dubai offers prime lifestyle certainty. Even amid global economic fluctuations and regional unrest, Dubai's property market has proven resilient. The luxury segment remains active, but what's especially encouraging is the growth in mid-market and family-orientated communities, reflecting a broader base of end users entering the market. People are also becoming more selective, partly chasing price, yes, but also assessing developer credibility, construction timelines and community amenities. This is a sign of a healthy market, not a speculative one. Watch: Here's what Dh1 million gets you in Dubai's property market today For many residents, the monthly rent they're paying could easily be redirected towards a mortgage, securing their own property instead of financing someone else's. With flexible payment plans, developer-backed financing and a host of government incentives now available, that transition is now both possible and practical. But making the leap from renting to owning still requires insight, planning and trusted guidance. Buyers should do their due diligence, understand their financing options and choose communities with a long-term vision, not just short-term appeal. It's crucial for aspiring homeowners to stay informed and seek out developments that combine quality and community focus. The future of Dubai real estate is looking more inclusive than ever. For first-time buyers ready to turn rent into return, there's no better time to start than now.

New dates, minor tweaks: How UAE schools will apply MoE directives on unified calendar
Some schools in the UAE are making 'minor adjustments' while others are changing dates around to ensure that they are meeting new directives by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to unify term dates across private and public schools across the country. Many parents are holding off on planning vacations and booking tickets for now. 'We will only need to make minor adjustments to our existing school calendar to align with the Ministry of Education's new calendar,' said Lisa Johnson, Principal of American Academy for Girls. 'Since our current structure is already very close to the Ministry's model, the start and end dates of terms as well as holiday breaks will see only small shifts. These changes will be integrated smoothly, and we expect the alignment to create even greater consistency across schools in the UAE- something that will benefit both our families and our staff.' It was last month that MoE announced a new structure for the academic calendar starting from 2025–2026. It set unified dates for the start of the academic year, end of the three terms and end of term breaks for all public and private schools nationwide. Tweaked dates At GEMS Founders School, there will be slight changes to the dates of this academic year. 'Due to the alignment with the already existing expectations of 182 calendar days for learning, there has been no impact on curriculum delivery,' said Matthew Burfield, Principal of the school. 'We have tweaked the curriculum plans to ensure they work around the new dates, but this has been minor in terms of implementation.' He said that there was 'no impact' on activities, assessments, or exam schedules, but a 'slight adjustment' was made to the assessment schedule in the second term to match the new winter break times. 'We communicated to all parents shortly after the announcement to make sure they were fully aware of the changes,' he said. 'This was simply to ensure that any plans families had been making could be changed.' Nargish Khambatta, the Principal and CEO of GEMS Modern Academy, said that the changes will have a greater impact on Indian syllabus schools, but it is an 'opportunity' for the students. 'For our Indian curriculum CBSE schools, the transition will involve recalibrating our term structure, assessment schedules and reporting timelines to match UAE-designated breaks and exam windows,' she said. 'We are confident that with careful planning and timely stakeholder communication, this shift can be implemented smoothly, with minimal disruption to learning and without compromising academic outcomes.' Lisa said that her school had also made small changes. 'A few small tweaks will be made to the event and assessment schedule, but no major changes will be required,' she said. 'Internal assessments, AP preparation, and major exams will still take place as planned. Excursions, performances, and extracurricular activities will also proceed with only minor date adjustments.' Holding off plans Bushra Ahmed, a parent with children in a Dubai school, said she and her family were holding off on making any plans in light of the new directive. 'We usually book our holidays and tickets well in advance based on the academic calendar,' she said. 'However, this year we got an email from the school that they are still working on the final calendar. So we are still waiting for the final confirmation.' Lisa added that the updated calendar would be shared with parents as soon as they receive official approval from KHDA. 'The parents to whom I have spoken seem pleased about the extended winter break, which will give families more opportunities to travel and enjoy Dubai's best weather together,' she said. 'We believe the response will be overwhelmingly positive, as the changes will help families align their schedules.' Matthew said that his school will build in 'further reinforcement work' with students after the longer winter break to make sure prior learning is developed. 'This will allow a more seamless transition for the students between the terms so that learning can continue,' he said.

UAE traffic: Long-time resident recalls going from Sharjah to Dubai in 'just 7 minutes'
For Farrakh Chiragh, a UAE resident for over three decades, the country is a land of fond memories. Having witnessed the UAE's transformation from a desert landscape to a skyline dotted with gleaming skyscrapers, his story reflects the remarkable progress the nation has made. 'I used to pay Dh620 for a return ticket from Lahore to Dubai in 1995. Now, I pay Dh1,700. That's how much things have changed over the years,' he said with a smile during an interview with Khaleej Times on the sidelines of the Pakistan Independence Day celebrations at Dubai Expo City on Sunday. Chiragh, a Pakistani national, is now living in the UAE with his fourth generation. He has two sons and two daughters. With over 1.7 million Pakistanis calling the UAE home, many families like Chiragh's have been part of the country's social and economic fabric for decades. On August 10, Emirates Loves Pakistan, in partnership with the Pakistan Association Dubai, hosted one of the largest Independence Day celebrations, drawing more than 60,000 South Asian nationals.

Reflecting on the early days of his UAE journey, Chiragh recalled a time when life was slower, but getting around was much quicker. 'I had a car, and there were no issues with traffic or parking back then. When I first arrived, the Dubai-Abu Dhabi road was just a single-lane highway. I lived on Al Wahda Street in Sharjah and could reach the Falcon Roundabout past Shindagha Tunnel in just seven minutes,' he said. 'After work, I would drive from Al Awir to Sharjah at night, and most of the roads were empty – there were no villas or residential communities along the way.' Chiragh, who retired in 2013, noted that with the country's rapid development, life has shifted into the fast lane. The population boom has brought with it traffic congestion and limited parking, he explained. 'Earlier, we could run five errands in a day. Now, we're lucky if we manage two – we lose so much time in traffic. My son leaves work in Dubai at 8:30pm and only reaches our home in Sharjah by 10pm.' Despite the growing urban challenges, Chiragh praised the UAE government for its continuous investment in infrastructure, including roads and bridges, to improve traffic flow and connectivity. 'Life for expatriate communities here is truly remarkable. People from all over the world are living and thriving in a peaceful, prosperous environment. We are deeply grateful to the UAE leadership,' he said.
