The most beautiful oriental women. The most famous and beautiful Arab women in the world
Numbering 350-450 million people.
The ancestors of modern Arabs have inhabited the territory of the Arabian Peninsula since ancient times. In the 7th century AD As a result of the work of the Prophet Muhammad, the Arab tribes united and adopted Islam. After the death of the prophet, his successors, the caliphs, conquered significant territories in Asia, North Africa and Europe (Spain). Several centuries later, the Arabs were completely expelled from Spain, and in North Africa and the Middle East, mixing with the local population, they formed the Arab world, which, thanks to the unity of language and religion, still exists. American researcher Michael Hart called the Prophet Muhammad the most influential person in the history of mankind, because he not only created a new world religion, but also founded a state that led to the existence of modern Arab world.
In North Africa, the Arabs encountered local tribes - the Berbers, who adopted Islam and the Arabic language, but still retain their Berber languages and ethnic identity. Population of such countries North Africa, like Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, are called Arab-Berbers, i.e. Berbers by origin, but Arabs by culture, and often by self-identification.
Next are the most beautiful, in my opinion, famous Arab and Arab-Berber women from different countries Asia, North Africa, as well as from the Arab diasporas of Europe, Latin and North America. The list will gradually expand.

Ravshana Kurkova
Zhang Ziyi

This Asian woman with an angelic face gained fame from her roles in the films “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” “House of Flying Daggers” and “Memoirs of a Geisha.” True, in her homeland the attitude towards the actress is ambiguous: either because she played a Japanese geisha, or because of her non-standard appearance for a Chinese woman.

Another Chinese woman who has conquered Hollywood is actress Bai Ling. The girl gained worldwide fame not only from her roles in the blockbusters “Taxi” and “Adrenaline-2”, but also from rather frank shoots for men’s magazines.

Hijab and oriental girls

And if a young girl is still allowed to be uncovered, then for married women the absence of a hijab is unforgivable. Today, this traditional clothing is mandatory to wear in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. And in countries such as Tajikistan, Turkey and Tunisia, wearing a hijab in government institutions and educational institutions forbidden.
Myths about the appearance of Arab girls
