5 sexy models from the Arab world

írta: musafir

In the Middle East we can find many dress styles, there are women who cover themselves with shawls or other garments, some do not, and in the vast majority of Arab countries (apart from the holy places) tourist ladies are not expected to wear hijab, burqa, nikab, abaya, etc. Because of their prejudices, people in Western culture find it hard to believe that a woman born in an Islamic country can be a model, an actress, a singer, or anything else. We present five beautiful Arab models who refute stereotypes about Arab women.

1. Valerie Abou Chacra (فاليري أبو شقرا)
Valerie participated in Miss World 2015, where she finished third. She studied at the Lebanese American University in Beirut, where she graduated in 2015, in TV and Radio Studies. She has participated in several Lebanese TV series and Arab television programs. She has three sisters, one of them suffered a serious car accident in 2014 and was completely paralyzed. Valerie dedicated her glory to her sister. She participated in the fourth edition of Dancing with the Stars Middle East. Her dance partner was Assadour Euredjian. She has appeared on the pages of several world-renowned magazines, such as Elle or Marie Claire.

Her career took her first to Barcelona and then to Milan, Italy, which she quickly made her home base. She became a TV host at Fashion TV and a host of District Mode in her hometown of Montreal.

3. Roz (روز)
Roz was born in Medina, Saudi Arabia. She is a superstar on Intsagram (model_roz), currently has 12 million followers. Roz is one of the most significant influencer in the Arab world. She grew up in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and later moved to Los Angeles to study interior design. She is of Yemeni descent. The supermodel filed a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit and is seeking $5 million in damages, after she was allegedly bullied for refusing to denounce the Kingdom. The trouble started when Almayouf (an activist), claimed Roz had escaped female repression in Saudi Arabia. The model disagreed, saying that was a “mischaracterization”. Almayouf then started a campaign to ruin her, and labeled Roz a prostitute. The activist then tagged companies on the social media that Roz worked for — and urged the model’s own followers to boycott those firms. This incident had a great echo in the world's press.
Roz is extremely proud of her Arab origins, which she has repeatedly voiced in her videos.
