Palestine to be represented at Miss Universe by Dubai resident
Former Miss Earth finalist Nadeen Ayoub will represent Palestine at Miss Universe 2025. This will be the first time Palestine has been represented at the competition.
Now in its 74th year, the long-running beauty pageant is set to be held this year in Pak Kret, a city in central Thailand, on November 21.
Ayoub, who lives between the Dubai and Ramallah in the West Bank, was crowned Miss Palestine in 2022. She made history that year by becoming the first representative from her country to take to part in the Miss Earth pageant, where she was one of the top five finalists.
She says she delayed her international pageant participation due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
