Her beauty queen career began in 2000 in Salinas, a coastal city in the Santa Elena Province, Ecuador, near Guayaquil, when she was crowned Reina del Salinas Yacht Club. In 2004, in the Reina de Guayaquil pageant, Saab placed as 1st runner-up and so won the title of Virreina de Guayaquil. After that, she was chosen Reina Hispanoamericana Ecuador 2004 and so competed in the Reina Hispanoamericana contest held in Cochabamba, Bolivia, but without success. However, a few months after, in Sincelejo, Colombia, Saab won the Miss Maja Mundial 2005, her major international title. She placed again as 1st runner-up in the Miss Ecuador 2007 pageant and so won the Miss World Ecuador 2007 title.
