Ana de Armas Stuns in Hijabi Look During Cultural Tour of UAE

Hollywood star Ana de Armas turned heads during the thrilling conclusion of the 2025 Formula 1 season at the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 7, where she not only mingled with racing elite but also had the honor of waving the chequered flag as Max Verstappen crossed the finish line to win the race.

However, de Armas’s visit extended beyond the excitement of the racetrack. The Cuban-Spanish actress took the opportunity to explore the UAE’s rich cultural heritage during her stay.

She visited the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where she donned a traditional black abaya and hijab in a show of respect that perfectly complemented the mosque’s stunning architecture.

Later, she embraced desert traditions, posing elegantly with a majestic falcon—a symbol of Emirati heritage—and enjoying the serene desert dunes.

Fans and media alike praised de Armas for her graceful appreciation of local customs, with photos from her “wonderful” trip going viral across social platforms.

De Armas’s UAE adventure underscores Abu Dhabi’s growing appeal as a destination that seamlessly blends world-class sporting events with rich cultural experiences.

The actress, renowned for her roles in Knives Out and No Time to Die, was a standout guest at Yas Marina Circuit amid a star-studded paddock featuring Emily Ratajkowski, Katy Perry, and Lewis Hamilton.
