Khalifa, a trained pianist, and model who was born to a Russian mother and a Bahraini father is only the second beauty queen to represent the kingdom at the renowned global pageant. She follows in the footsteps of Manar Deyani, whom last year made history by participating on her country's behalf for the first time.
 

 

Khalifa is passionate about education and believes that it is never too late to study or learn something new in life. She graduated from five schools, which are for music, dancing, modeling, taekwondo, and comprehension. Hailing from Riffa, Bahrain, Khalifa is fluent in Arabic and English.
