Due to the current political situation in Egypt, the part-time model was chosen to represent her country at this year’s Miss Universe, making her the first Egyptian female to take part in a global beauty competition since the overthrowing of the previous Egyptian government.
Dubai-based Sara Al Khouly, who was crowned Miss Egypt last year, will take to the stage with 88 other contestants for the chance to win the coveted title in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The 23-year-old Egyptian-Croatian model made headlines last year after she became the first beauty queen based in the UAE to be chosen to represent the region in a number of competitions.
Despite not becoming one of the finalists at last year’s Miss World competition in Sanya, China, Al Khouly, a student at the American University of Sharjah, went on to beat 14 other contestants to win Miss Mediterranean 2011 in Nicosia, Cyprus.
