UAE to host its first-ever women-only supercar rally

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to shift gears on how motorsports are seen in the region with its first-ever all-women supercar rally rolling out next month, Gulf Newsreported.

Set to unfold from May 1 to 4, 2025, this four-day luxury rally -- led by the trailblazing Arabian Gazelles, the world’s first female supercar collective -- will unite 20 exceptional women drivers from across the globe for a high-octane journey that fuses adrenaline with elegance and empowerment with experience.

Cruising through Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, and back, the rally promises more than scenic drives. But this isn’t just about fast cars and luxury stops. It’s about visibility, confidence, and women reclaiming space on roads -- and in a sport -- that’s long been seen as male-dominated.

“This isn’t just about speed or style,” said Hanan Sobati, Founder of Arabian Gazelles. “It’s about taking the wheel — literally and figuratively — and rewriting the rules of who gets to lead the pack.”

More than just a rally

The adventure kicks off with a private track session at Dubai Autodrome, followed by coastal drives through Fujairah and a stay at a beach villa and spa.

Drivers will then ascend the winding roads of Jebel Jais before retreating to a five-star mountain escape, leading into a magical desert night under the stars at Qasr Al Sarab. The journey wraps with a grand finale celebration back in Dubai.

Driving change beyond the UAE

Looking beyond borders, the Arabian Gazelles aim to expand this movement, encouraging more women to embrace the road -- not just in the region, but around the world.

“This rally is more than a drive -- it’s a statement,” said co-organizer Ghita Mejdi, also the founder of The Kliff Project.

“Every element was thoughtfully crafted to reflect the spirit of the women involved. They’re here to connect, uplift, and leave a lasting mark -- one mile at a time.”
