Miss Universe Bahrain 2022 Evlin Khalifa has arrived in the Philippines to train for Miss Universe 2022 which will begin in January next year. She will undergo intense training for months to prepare for the coveted international pageant.

Evlin Khalifa took to her official social media as she wrote, “It has always been my dream to visit the beautiful country of the Philippines, and I cannot believe I am already here, especially [because] I have Filipino cousins here. It feels like a shower of blessing (in Bahrain there is not so much rain so I feel like a kid). Hoping everyone is safe.”

Evlin Khalifa is 24 years of age and holds a degree in finance and banking. She has arrived alongside Miss Universe Bahrain national director and Dubai fashion icon Josh Yugen who will stay in Manila for two weeks to attend a boot camp.

According to the Miss Universe Bahrain organization, Khalifa will also hold a ‘secret photoshoot’ and media interviews. The Bahrainian beauty is excited to feel the warm support of the Filipino community. Khalifa aims to spread awareness on eating disorders and advocate for a healthy lifestyle as she has been diagnosed with anorexia as well.

The 71st Miss Universe competition will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States on January 14, 2023. Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu from India will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.
