US celebrity, Jordyn Woods has reacted after she was criticized with claims that she disrespected the Islamic religion on a visit to the United Arab Emirates.

Jordyn Woods shared a picture on Instagram showing her with her mother and sister at the Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Mosque.

They all wore Abaya in a way which made many on social media criticize her.

"I'm sorry if I offended you but in order to enter the mosque you have to wear an abaya... In no world would I try to mock another person nor culture", she responded to the criticism.

"For those of you that don't know in order to enter the mosque you must wear an abaya. It was such an amazing experience getting to see the beauty of another culture."

She was later educated that an Abaya is supposed to cover a woman's entire hair, especially when at a Mosque.

"I just got properly educated. Thanks sis", Jordyn Woods wrote.

She also revealed plans to leave the Middle East soon and return to America.

"It gives me an excuse to come back to Dubai to go skydiving like I wanted to do," she said on Instagram Stories.

"By the looks of it, coming home would be the best idea sooner rather than later. This is wild."
