CHANGING ARABIA
It seems that the Islamic states of the Arab world are now gradually following the West and getting rid of their traditional ideologies. In popular history, we have not heard of beauty queens from the Islamic states of the Gulf participating in the world pageants. Changing it, Lujane Yacoub from Bahrain entered the Miss Universe pageant last year. She is the first beauty to represent a Gulf Islamic State in this competition.
Foreign media had reported that a beauty will represent Saudi Arabia for the Miss Universe pageant to be held in Mexico this year. At 27, she is a Saudi model, Rumy Alqahtani. It is reported that she is a girl who has won many beauty contests in the Middle East region.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is the pioneer of the cultural changes that have been taking place in Saudi Arabia for about a decade. He was the one who confirmed the right of Saudi women to trade and to obtain driving licenses. In the same way, he was responsible for reopening cinemas in Saudi Arabia and opening a liquor store in Riyadh for diplomats. Foreign media have reported that this young woman will represent Saudi Arabia in this year's Miss Universe competition under his guidance.
