About Miss Arab Pageant
The Annual Miss Arab Pageant is founded on the principle of advancing the cause of young women of Arab descent. The pageant is a charitable event for the community, uniting Arabs and friends of Arabs in celebrating Arab cultural heritage in the United States.

The Miss Arab Pageant is produced by The Arab American Organization (AAO), a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization classified as a public charity under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, headquartered in the State of Arizona. The mission of AAO is to build community pride and showcase the diversity of Arab music, arts, and cultures. It is also dedicated to documenting, preserving, celebrating, and educating the public on the history, life, culture, and contributions of Arabs.

The pageant serves as a fundraising event and is one of many initiatives undertaken by AAO to promote personal and professional development among young Arab women. AAO elevates pageantry by grooming Arab queens as ambassadors for humanity, redefining the image of the Arab woman as a leader and a key contributor to the development of the Middle East and the world.

This is a non-political platform that empowers young women to achieve personal growth, embrace their heritage, discover their inner beauty, pursue humanitarian goals, and lay a strong foundation as future leaders.
