The Arabian Gazelles are set to make history in the Middle East by launching the region’s first all-women supercar rally—a dynamic initiative that combines high-performance driving with a powerful message of empowerment. This groundbreaking event redefines the face of luxury car culture by putting women in the driver’s seat—literally and figuratively.
Twenty pioneering women from around the world will journey across the UAE, not just to showcase speed and style, but to champion freedom, unity, and collective progress. The rally highlights the rising interest of women in motorsports while celebrating their strength and calling for more inclusive opportunities.
Spanning four days, the rally will take drivers through the UAE’s diverse landscapes, blending thrilling routes with curated luxury, cultural moments, and immersive hospitality.
“This is more than a rally—it’s about taking up space, reshaping narratives, and honoring the powerful women who are shaping the future,” said Hanan Sobati, Founder of Arabian Gazelles. “We’re not just driving—we’re driving change, one bold mile at a time.”The Arabian Gazelles Rally is more than just a road trip—it’s a statement. In a traditionally male-dominated space, this event places women not only in the spotlight but in leadership roles.
Rally activities
The experience kicks off with a private BMW M Series track session hosted by BMW Group Middle East at the Dubai Autodrome. From there, participants will cruise along the peaceful shores of Fujairah, stay at the luxurious Naäma Beach Villas & Spa, and ascend the stunning Jebel Jais mountains. The rally continues with serene overnight stops at Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah and Anantara Santorini in Ghantoot. A desert retreat at Qasr Al Sarab offers a magical night under the stars, followed by a grand finale celebration at Delano and a stylish closing dinner at Maison Revka, hosted by Chopard and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
The UAE, known for its innovation and forward-thinking spirit, provides a fitting backdrop for this milestone event. Drawing participants from across the globe, the rally honors the nation’s progressive legacy while showcasing its beauty through a uniquely female perspective.
Looking ahead, Arabian Gazelles plans to expand this movement, inviting more women into the region and taking them on unforgettable global journeys.
“This rally has heart,” said Ghita Mejdi, co-organizer and Founder of the kliff project. “Every detail is designed to celebrate the spirit of the women involved—pioneers, storytellers, and changemakers. It’s not about competition, but connection, empowerment, and inspiration.”
Presented in partnership with Chopard—the Swiss luxury watch and jewelry house deeply connected to motorsports—and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the event reflects a shared commitment to performance, craftsmanship, and passion for engineering. Other key partners include The Elite Cars, known for their long-standing automotive legacy in the region, and Tom Ford Beauty, bringing sophistication and style to the rally.
Founded in Dubai, Arabian Gazelles is the world’s first all-women supercar collective. The group unites bold, independent women from around the world, all driven by a shared love of cars, community, and creating change.
