Meet the All-Female Supercar Club Speeding Across the UAE

The world of luxury cars is often seen as a man’s playground, a space where supercars are fuelled by testosterone. Now, a group of women in the UAE have taken the wheel for themselves - and they've been loudly making tracks in the supercar world. Arabian Gazelles, founded by Hanan Sobati, a supercar driver and all-around luxury enthusiast, is a an all-female club giving women supercar drivers a platform to spin their wheels in absolute style.

“When I first entered the supercar world, I noticed how male-dominated it was and how few women were visible within it,” Sobati tells SceneNowUAE. “I created Arabian Gazelles to change that, to give women not just a place but a presence."

The Arabian Gazelles go on road tours, drive-and-dine or drive-and-stay weekends, and curated rallies. The club also facilitates collaborations with luxury brands, blending the thrill of supercars with extravagant fashion, travel and lifestyle experiences. For Sobati, it's all about showing that, for women, there's no reason for luxury to be limited diamonds and designer clothing.

"I have always been drawn to the speed, design and character supercars carry," explains Sobati. "For me, it was never only about the machine but about the lifestyle, the connections, and the energy around it. For too long, supercars have been seen as a man’s territory. We are here to change that perception and to normalise women not only loving these machines but owning them, driving them, and living the lifestyle around them with confidence."

Arabian Gazelles is by no means exclusionary; they create an open space for women of all nationalities, from all over the world. Their collaborations with luxury brands, hotels and lifestyle partners enables these establishments to connect to an accomplished community with purchasing power and international reach.

The UAE is, according to Sobati, the perfect place for Arabian Gazelles to flourish. While people were curious at the beginning, many locals supported the vision for an all-female supercar group. "The UAE is a country that thrives on ambition and quickly rewards progress, and that gave us the right environment to grow."

Like their name, the Arabian Gazelles are elegant, resilient and quick on their feet. They move in a pack, and it doesn't look like they're taking their feet off their gas pedals any time soon.
