Saudi Arabia sending a contestant to Miss Universe for the first time in 2024 (photos)

What is the 27-year-old model who will make history - See photos

Newsroom April 1 04:47

A promising sign for women in the Middle East came a few days ago, with the announcement that Saudi Arabia will participate in the Miss Universe pageant for the first time.

27-year-old Rumy Alqahtani is the candidate who will make history, as she is the woman chosen by Saudi Arabia to make its debut in the international beauty competition.

Rumy Alqahtani is 27 years old and hails from Riyadh.

She works as a model and a digital content creator.

A few days ago, she was selected to represent her country in the beauty pageant – a moment of significant importance for women in Saudi Arabia.

She announced the news on Instagram, writing: “It is my honor to participate in the Miss Universe 2024 competition. This marks the first participation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the Miss Universe pageant.”

In addition to being Miss Saudi Arabia, Alqahtani holds many other prestigious titles, such as Miss Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Miss Arab World Peace 2021, and Miss Woman (Saudi Arabia).

However, Alqahtani has not exclusively focused on fashion. Her academic career is equally impressive compared to the majority of her compatriots who have not received such education.
