Miss Egypt World 2010
Sara was the second runner-up in Miss Egypt 2010 national pageant and was crowned Miss Egypt World 2010 on July 7, 2010 in Cairo.[1] At the time of the coronation, she was a student at the American University of Sharjah. Eventually, on October 20, 2010 she represented her nation at the Miss World 2010 beauty pageant, held in Sanya, China. She did not place among the 25 semi-finalists of the pageant, which was won by Alexandria Mills, representing the United States.
Miss Mediterranean 2011
On June 4, 2011 Sara represented Egypt at the 2011 Miss Mediterranean pageant held in Nicosia, Cyprus. She beat 14 other contestants to take home the crown and title. This marked the first Egyptian representative to an international pageant after the 2011 Egyptian revolution.[2]
Miss Universe 2011
Due to the political situation in Egypt, there was no national pageant in 2011. As an experienced beauty pageant contestant, Sara was therefore handpicked as the official Egyptian representative to the 2011 Miss Universe pageant to be held on September 12, 2011 in São Paulo, Brazil.[3][4]
