Arabian Gazelles: Women Behind the Wheel of Change—The UAE’s Trailblazing Luxury Car Club for Women

Women in the UAE today are not just drivers, but pioneers redefining automotive culture. “Arabian Gazelles” is the first all-female supercar club in the Middle East—uniting women of over 17 nationalities and transforming the image of luxury car ownership into a statement of empowerment, ambition, and sisterhood.

From Childhood Dream to Global Women’s Rally

Picture a young girl who, once playing with her brother’s toy cars, becomes determined to prove a woman’s place behind the wheel. Years later, Hanan Mazouzi Sobati founds Arabian Gazelles, creating a platform where women celebrate talent, push limits, and share a passion for high-performance driving across the UAE and beyond. Their collective journey is not about showing off, but about rewriting what it means to be a “car woman” in a man’s world.
