Israel is known for its stunning vistas and sparkling beaches, but the country is set to play host to the world’s most glamorous competition later this year.
The Israeli city of Eilat will welcome contestants from over 90 countries in December as the annual Miss Universe competition returns to grace our screens for the 70th year.
Israel had been on organisers’ shortlist of host countries for a “number of years due to its rich history, beautiful landscapes, myriad of cultures and appeal as a global tourist destination,” Miss Universe Organisation president Paula M. Shugart said on Tuesday.
Contestants will be taken to visit the nearby Dead Sea, as well as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other destinations, organisers said.
