The Arabian Gazelles are set to launch the Middle East’s first all-women supercar rally, taking place from the 1st to the 4th of May.
Hanan Sobati, Founder of Arabian Gazelles.
The four-day event will see 20 women from around the world travel across the United Arab Emirates, marking a regional milestone in motorsport.
The route will begin in Dubai and pass through the emirates of Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Abu Dhabi, before returning to Dubai. The rally will include sessions on racetracks, stretches through coastal roads and desert landscapes, and stays at premium resorts. Each leg has been designed to offer a mix of high-performance driving and curated experiences that reflect both the diversity of the UAE’s landscape and the values of the rally.
“This rally is about more than cars – it’s about claiming space, changing perceptions, and celebrating the strength of exceptional women who are shaping the future,” said Hanan Sobati, Founder of Arabian Gazelles.
The rally will begin with a BMW M Series track session at Dubai Autodrome, organised by BMW Group Middle East. The drivers will then continue along the Fujairah coastline, with an overnight stay at Naäma Beach Villas & Spa. This will be followed by a mountain drive through Jebel Jais, a stay at Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, and a coastal interlude at Anantara Santorini in Ghantoot. The final leg includes a desert retreat at Qasr Al Sarab before concluding in Dubai, where the rally will end with a closing dinner at Maison Revka, hosted by Chopard and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
The event is presented in partnership with Chopard, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, The Elite Cars, and Tom Ford Beauty. It is positioned as a movement that highlights women’s increasing presence in the world of supercars and luxury automotive experiences.
Ghita Mejdi, co-organiser and Founder of the kliff project, said: “This is a rally with a soul. Every detail was curated to honour the spirit of the women driving it, trailblazers, storytellers, and icons.”
Arabian Gazelles, founded in Dubai, is the world’s first all-women supercar collective. The group brings together high-powered women who share a passion for cars, community and leadership.
