History[]

Miss Universe UAE was officially announced on 7 October 2021, during a press conference in Dubai.[1][2] The inaugural competition will be held in 2022, with its winner making the nation's debut at the Miss Universe 2022 competition. Miss Universe UAE does not have a swimsuit competition, instead incorporating a fashion couture round instead. Applications are open to all residents of the United Arab Emirates, rather than solely citizens.[3][4][5] The 2021 edition is cancelled due to time constraint.[6]
