Men who originate from the Middle East are well known for being … well, handsome. There’s not really much point in beating about the bush, is there? In fact, they are known for being so handsome, that there was even a tale of three men, back in 2013, who were actually deported from the country of Saudi Arabia, simply because they were just too handsome. That man was Omar Borkan al Gala (and the story was embellished just a little … or a lot), but he’s not the only chap to be well known across the globe, from the Middle East, for being a thoroughly handsome man.

Just take a peek at these nice gentlemen — the 10 Most Handsome Arab Men in the World 2017. We also included one extremely hot guy from Turkey (which is not an Arabic country) because, well, look at him! With looks like that, we had to include Kıvanç on at least one of our hottest guys lists. Right now, Europe says Turkey is a part of the Middle East. The Middle East says it is part of Europe. We just wanted to find the hottest guys around the globe, so we decided that Kıvanç would be our bonus guy on this list.

1 – Omar Borkan al Gala

It makes sense to start with this man, simply because the deportation story centred around him. Born in Dubai, the story made headline news and made him incredibly popular across the globe. Speculation still surrounds him, of course, but the story sure was entertaining, even if it wasn’t entirely true.

2 – Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum

He’s a poet, but that’s not all he’s known for. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum is also the heir to the throne of Dubai, and the Crown Prince of Dubai too. That’s on top of being one of the 10 most handsome Arab men in the world 2017, so we reckon life is pretty good for him, don’t you?

34-year-old Udi Karni is an actor tipped to be one of a few creating a wave of Middle-Eastern fusion into the modelling world, not just a model, but an athlete too. Originating from Palestine, he’s known for his modelling work with the likes of Emporio Armani, as well as a string of other big, designer names.

He’s also known in the TV world too, with Gilmore Girls, 24, The Pacific, and his current show, Mr. Robot, in which he plays Elliot Alderson. He’s even lent his voice to a few video games too, but that’s not what we’re excited for in the next year or so. He’s said to be playing Freddie Mercury in the up and coming movie, Bohemian Rhapsody, and we cannot wait to watch it!

A German actor, Eugen Bauder was actually born in Kazakhstan, moving to Germany, with his mother, when he was just five years of age. He did move around Germany quite a bit as a youngster, but it wasn’t long before he found his feet in the modelling world, bagging himself contracts and jobs with the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Hugo Boss, and Armani, and that was before he became the face of Amor Pour Homme, a fragrance for Cacharel.

8 – Brahim Zaibat

This guy is perhaps better known for being the boyfriend of one of the most famous in the world. In case you hadn’t guessed yet, he was the significant other of Queen of Pop, Madonna. Born in Algeria, he’s a dancer by trade, and it was actually as a dancer that he met the Queen herself. They were only together for around a year or so before parting ways, but we’re sure it’s a time in his life that he’ll never forget. We wonder what he would have to say about the “Material Girl” herself …?

29-year old Lebanese-American, Bachar Houli, is better known for his spot on the Australian football field, playing midfielder. A devout Muslim, he’s made no attempts to hide his battles growing up in the Western world, attempting to play Western sports, whilst still practising his religion. During his younger years, he was even reported sneaking out of his parents’ house in order to play the sport he loved so much.

10 – Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ

34-year-old Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ may have a name that looks impossible to pronounce, but he’s certainly becoming a big hit across the globe. He’s not just a model, but also an actor, and he once played basketball too. He didn’t leave the sports world by choice, suffering from a leg injury, but his fallback career of acting seems to have worked very well for him. He’s not only an award-winning actor but also one of the highest-paid actors from Turkey too.
