Nadeen Ayoub, 27, divides her time between the UAE and the Palestinian Authority's administrative capital of Ramallah in Samaria.
Nadeen Ayoub, 27, is set to represent “Palestine” at the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand in November, becoming the first to represent the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip in the event’s 74-year history.
Ayoub—who divides her time between the United Arab Emirates and the Palestinian Authority’s administrative capital of Ramallah in Samaria—will compete alongside Miss Israel Melanie Shiraz.
Announcing her participation on Wednesday on Instagram, Ayoub appeared in traditional Arab attire featuring embroidery by designer Hiba Abdel Karim, who has created pieces for Jordan’s Queen Rania.
