Meet the ridiculously good-looking man who was reportedly told to leave Saudi Arabia for being too handsome.
Omar Borkan Al Gala, an actor and photographer from Dubai, was given his marching orders along with a number of other men at a cultural festival earlier this month.
With his perfectly formed cheekbones, captivating gaze and well groomed
appearance, it's easy to see why authorities felt so threatened by his
good looks.
They were so worried, in fact, they thought the
United Arab Emirates delegates might corrupt impressionable women at the
annual Janadriyah Festival.
'A festival official said the three
Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that
the Commission members feared female visitors could fall for them,'
Arabic newspaper Elaph reported.
Concerned women might suddenly
start stripping naked and throwing themselves at the men, police
seemingly decided the best option was to remove them from the country.
Others have speculated the men may have been asked to leave because of the unexpected arrival of a female UAE artist.
'Her
visit to the UAE stand was a coincidence as it was not included in the
programme which we had already provided to the festival's management,'
said Saeed Al Kaabi, head of the UAE delegation.
