Along with a photo dump, she wrote on Instagram, “I am honoured to participate in the Miss Universe 2024 competition. This is the first participation of Saudi Arabia in the Miss Universe competition.”
In the pictures, Rumy was wearing a strapless and sequined gown.
As per a Khaleej Times report, Riyadh resident Alqahtani is quite familiar with being in the public eye as she has participated in several international beauty pageants like Miss Arab Peace, Miss Asia, Miss Middle East, and many more.
