About Miss Arab Universe Pageant
The Miss Arab Universe Pageant is an international cultural event designed to uplift and unite young women of Arab origin from around the globe. The pageant celebrates Arab heritage while providing a powerful platform for participants to develop as ambassadors of goodwill, cultural representatives, and future leaders.
This pageant is produced by The Arab American Organization (AAO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the United States and classified as a public charity under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Headquartered in Arizona, AAO’s mission is to foster community pride and showcase the rich diversity of Arab music, arts, history, and culture, while educating the global public about the contributions of Arabs worldwide.
Cultural Diplomacy and Humanitarian Focus
Miss Arab Universe takes pageantry beyond beauty. It nurtures leadership, humanitarian values, and cross-border cultural understanding. Each titleholder serves as a global ambassador for Arab identity, redefining perceptions of the Arab woman as an educated, engaged, and influential force in shaping a better world.
A Platform for Global Arab Women
Open to Arab women living outside the United States, the Miss Arab Universe Pageant is a non-political space for participants to celebrate their identity, build personal and professional development, and contribute to meaningful causes. It offers opportunities to inspire, connect, and lead on a world stage.
Whether from the Middle East, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, or Australia, participants join a movement that honors their voice, vision, and values.
