The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles is a human adventure that is one of a kind.
It
is the only Rally Raid for women only. Since 1990, the event has been
bringing together women between 18 and 65 years of age, from 33
different countries, in the Moroccan desert.
The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles is developing a new vision of automobile competition: no speed and no GPS, just old fashioned navigation, completely off-road.
With
determination as the only selection criterion, whatever their age,
social background, nationality or experience, the participants in this
rally come to experience, behind the wheel of a 4WD, Crossover, Quad,
truck or motorbike, a competition without speed, that respects the
local populations and the environment.
All Rallye participants, known as “Gazelles”,
leave this adventure marked forever by the experience: they push their
limits, have to face themselves, far from their sometimes difficult
daily lives as women; there is also a strong element of sharing and
mutual aid with their teammate as well as with the other “Gazelles”.
But while the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles is a return to the roots of adventure, it is also, with its satellite system for tracking the teams, on the cutting edge of technology when it comes to safety. This duality is the strength of this unusual competition.
