‘We do not need permission’: All-women supercar club smashes stereotypes in the Middle East
- On May 1, 2025, 30 women gathered in Dubai to participate in a four-day supercar tour throughout the United Arab Emirates, organized by the Arabian Gazelles.
- The rally was organized following the founding of Arabian Gazelles by Hanan Mazouzi Sobati nearly a decade ago, aiming to combat the exclusion of women from male-dominated automotive events.
- Mazouzi Sobati started the club out of frustration since women were overlooked and often attended events only as partners of male invitees.
- Sobati emphasized that women have the freedom to drive and select any type of car they desire, highlighting their autonomous enthusiasm for supercars.
- The event demonstrates a shift in perceptions as Arabian Gazelles challenges stereotypes by creating a space for women passionate about supercars in the region.
