Beauty queens representing 130 countries are competing for the Miss Universe 2024 crown. The event will be held in Mexico City from November 14 to 16 at Arena CDMX, where reigning Miss Universe Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua will crown her successor on the final day.
Contestants are steadily arriving in the Mexican capital for what is set to be the long-running competition's most momentous event yet in its 73-year history. This year, many previous limitations have been scrapped, including age, marital status and body type for all contestants. Last year, for the first time, mothers were also allowed to participate.
The UAE, Somalia and Uzbekistan are making their Miss Universe debuts. Iran is sending a representative for the first time, under the title of Miss Universe Persia.
Here are the six contestants representing the Middle East at this year's Miss Universe.
Miss Universe Egypt: Logina Salah
Salah, 34, is a Dubai resident and model, who says she was bullied throughout her childhood due to a skin condition called vitiligo, which causes patches to lose pigment. Now, she is looking forward to representing her country on the world stage.
“I am excited to represent Egypt, women with vitiligo, and anyone who has ever felt that they don't belong,” she previously told The National. “After enduring bullying throughout my childhood because of my skin condition, it took me 15 years to embrace self-love. My mission is to empower those who feel marginalised, letting them know they are not alone and I aspire to make a significant impact on the global Miss Universe stage.”
Miss Universe Bahrain: Shereen Ahmed
The Filipino-Bahraini beauty queen, 29, finished second in the Miss Universe Bahrain competition in 2022. Ahmed has a background in journalism and advocates for single mothers and mental health awareness.
“This pageant journey has always been about more than just a crown – it’s about creating impact, giving hope, and showing single mothers that they are not alone. Together, we can make a difference, and I am so excited to see the change we’ll create on this global platform,” she posted on Instagram.
Miss Universe UAE: Emilia Dobreva
Dobreva is a fashion model and a mother of three. The Dubai resident will be the first UAE representative at the Miss Universe pageant. The model is not new to beauty competitions, having been crowned Miss Friendship International in 2019. During the coronation, Dobreva beat four other finalists to be crowned.
The UAE was first announced as part of the international competition in September. In an Instagram post by the Miss Universe Organisation, Indonesian businesswoman Poppy Capella was named as the national director for the UAE franchise, as well as for Cyprus. She was formerly the national director of Miss Universe Indonesia and Miss Universe Malaysia.
Miss Universe Lebanon: Nada Koussa
Clinical psychologist Koussa, 26, beat 14 other contestants to the Miss Universe Lebanon title at a star-studded event held at Beirut's waterfront. She was crowned by her Miss Lebanon 2022 predecessor Yasmina Zaytoun, the runner-up in Miss World last year.
Eight women made up the judging panel, including Nour Arida, a women's rights activist and model. “On my platform, I always talk about being natural, being true to yourself, I talk about accepting yourself, about not having beauty stereotypes,” Arida told The National.
“For me, I wanted to be here today and share this message, this reminder that each girl has something that is different, she's beautiful in her own way and that we should stop stereotyping women in general.”
Miss Universe Persia: Ava Vahneshan
A first for Miss Universe, Iran's unofficial entry to the global pageant will be Vahneshan, a singer and Chinese medicine specialist. Vahneshan was named as the replacement for Fay Asghari, the first winner of the title, who earlier this year beat 20 other women of Iranian descent to the Miss Universe Persia title at an event in Rome.
Miss Universe Persia said it and Asghari, the sister of Britney Spears's ex-husband Sam Asghari, had mutually agreed to part ways, with the title going to second-place Vahneshan. The daughter of an Iranian immigrant in Portugal, Vahneshan said that at the Miss Universe contest, she will represent “the weight of its history, its culture and the heart of my people".
She posted on Instagram: “But my mission is larger than just representing my country. I stand for every voice, for all those who have never had the chance to be heard, for every story that has been forgotten, for every heart that yearns to be understood. I will stand tall, and I will speak for you."
Miss Universe Israel: Ofir Korsia
The participation of Korsia, 23, an actress and dancer, will mark Israel's return to Miss Universe after a two-year hiatus. In 2022, the Miss Israel organisation – founded in 1952 and which sends representatives to international pageants – said it would no longer do so.
The announcement was made a year after the Israeli city Eilat hosted the pageant, where Miss India Harnaaz Sandhu took the crown.
The competition was revived after American entrepreneur Edgar Saakyan bought the rights to the Miss Universe Israel pageant. Korsia was among eight contestants in the competition, which was held in Florida in the US.

Four motivational quotes from Alicia's Dubai talk
“The only thing we need is to know that we have faith. Faith and hope in our own dreams. The belief that, when we keep going we’re going to find our way. That’s all we got.”
“Sometimes we try so hard to keep things inside. We try so hard to pretend it’s not really bothering us. In some ways, that hurts us more. You don’t realise how dishonest you are with yourself sometimes, but I realised that if I spoke it, I could let it go.”
“One good thing is to know you’re not the only one going through it. You’re not the only one trying to find your way, trying to find yourself, trying to find amazing energy, trying to find a light. Show all of yourself. Show every nuance. All of your magic. All of your colours. Be true to that. You can be unafraid.”
“It’s time to stop holding back. It’s time to do it on your terms. It’s time to shine in the most unbelievable way. It’s time to let go of negativity and find your tribe, find those people that lift you up, because everybody else is just in your way.”

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

Difference between fractional ownership and timeshare
Although similar in its appearance, the concept of a fractional title deed is unlike that of a timeshare, which usually involves multiple investors buying “time” in a property whereby the owner has the right to occupation for a specified period of time in any year, as opposed to the actual real estate, said John Peacock, Head of Indirect Tax and Conveyancing, BSA Ahmad Bin Hezeem & Associates, a law firm.

What is graphene?
Graphene is extracted from graphite and is made up of pure carbon.
It is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.
It conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature.
It is thought that graphene could boost the useful life of batteries by 10 per cent.
Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the disease.
The material was first discovered when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were 'playing' with graphite at the University of Manchester in 2004.

Why it pays to compare
A comparison of sending Dh20,000 from the UAE using two different routes at the same time - the first direct from a UAE bank to a bank in Germany, and the second from the same UAE bank via an online platform to Germany - found key differences in cost and speed. The transfers were both initiated on January 30.
Route 1: bank transfer
The UAE bank charged Dh152.25 for the Dh20,000 transfer. On top of that, their exchange rate margin added a difference of around Dh415, compared with the mid-market rate.
Total cost: Dh567.25 - around 2.9 per cent of the total amount
Total received: €4,670.30
Route 2: online platform
The UAE bank’s charge for sending Dh20,000 to a UK dirham-denominated account was Dh2.10. The exchange rate margin cost was Dh60, plus a Dh12 fee.
Total cost: Dh74.10, around 0.4 per cent of the transaction
Total received: €4,756
The UAE bank transfer was far quicker – around two to three working days, while the online platform took around four to five days, but was considerably cheaper. In the online platform transfer, the funds were also exposed to currency risk during the period it took for them to arrive.

Poland Statement
All people fleeing from Ukraine before the armed conflict are allowed to enter Poland. Our country shelters every person whose life is in danger - regardless of their nationality.
The dominant group of refugees in Poland are citizens of Ukraine, but among the people checked by the Border Guard are also citizens of the USA, Nigeria, India, Georgia and other countries.
All persons admitted to Poland are verified by the Border Guard. In relation to those who are in doubt, e.g. do not have documents, Border Guard officers apply appropriate checking procedures.
No person who has received refuge in Poland will be sent back to a country torn by war.
