They love driving and supercars. Arabian Gazelles, a women-only supercar club from UAE, brings together women who have a penchant for adrenaline that comes from being behind the wheel. Anne Kurian speaks to the club’s founder, Hanan Mazouzi
Boys have their clubs and so do women. But Arabian Gazelles is a club that stands out from the rest. It is the first women-only supercar club in the UAE. Founded by Hanan Mazouzi, a mother of two with a passion for supercars and driving, Arabian Gazelles brings together like-minded women. Breaking the stereotypical image of women and cars, Arabian Gazelles is a bonafide supercars club with members who are passionate about experiencing the thrill of being behind the wheel just like their male counterparts.
Mazouzi, whose heroes are F1 idols like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, decided to launch Arabian Gazelles when she realised there would be more women like her who are petrol heads and didn’t have a platform that catered to their interests. It’s been only a little over six months since the club has been launched but already has over 50 members from U.A.E. and Oman.
In this engaging interview, Hanan Mazouzi talks about the club, women who love supercars and getting the automobile industry to take notice of their female customers.
