Arabian Gazelles rev up the UAE with all-female supercar rally
A group of women with a shared love for supercars gathered in Dubai for a weekend car rally organised by the Arabian Gazelles. The group is the first all-female supercar owners club in the region.
Founded eight years ago by Hanan Mazouzi Sobati, the club aims to change perceptions about women in the auto world.
Initially, brands were reluctant to support an all-women's car club. Sobati, who has loved cars since childhood, noticed that car events were mainly for men. She was often the only woman at these gatherings and felt it was time for women to be recognised.
The rally included a four-day tour of the UAE, and participants were invited by BMW to test drive cars on the racetrack.
Hanan emphasised that women don't need permission to pursue their passion for driving or to choose the cars they love. They are creating their own opportunities and spaces in the automotive world.
Answer: after she noticed that car events were normally male-oriented

Why Gulf countries are fertile ground for Chinese EV makers' growth
As competition intensifies in China's electric vehicle market, the country's leading carmakers are accelerating their global outreach in a push to capture new markets and enhance brand stature. Countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), particularly the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, have emerged as some of the most promising destinations. Advertisement Chinese carmakers are projected to account for 34 per cent of the Middle East and Africa automotive market by 2030, up from just 10 per cent in 2024. Companies such as BYD, Xpeng and Chery have made visible inroads, launching flagship showrooms and forging partnerships with regional players. In 2023, Chinese brands accounted for 12 per cent of new car sales across GCC countries, a leap from negligible levels just six years ago. With a strong decarbonisation agenda, high purchasing power and a growing appetite for clean technology , the Gulf region offers meaningful growth opportunities. However, beneath this surface-level momentum lies a more measured reality. While Chinese EVs have secured a commercial foothold, they have yet to demonstrate deeper market integration or long-term localisation. Their presence, though growing, remains more commercially transactional than strategically anchored. The Gulf's strategic intent is unmistakable. Governments across the region are pursuing partnerships to build domestic EV capacity and align with industrial diversification goals. Abu Dhabi's US$2.2 billion investment in Nio reflects this ambition, as do national policies such as the UAE's Electric Vehicles Policy and Saudi Arabia's National Industrial Strategy. Advertisement
