A translation of themissarabworld.org website said the “ideal Arab girl” would be chosen who represented Arab customs and traditions “under the banner of a call for modesty and culture.  Nonetheless, the new Miss Arab World was crowned wearing a one-strapped dress with cutouts at the waist.

Russia Today reported that Fahad beat 15 other contestants for the prize.
