The Rally Jameel for Women is the first navigation rally for women on off-road tracks. Its first edition was organized in March 2022, starting from the historic Qishlah Palace in Hail City. It is the only rally of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It is organized as an initiative by Abdul Latif Jameel Motors.
Rally features
Rally Jameel for Women is distinguished by its reliance on the participants' planning skills and the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) rather than speed to accumulate points at each checkpoint. The rally consists of three stages, covering a distance of approximately one thousand km. It starts from Hail, passes through Qassim, and ends in the capital, Riyadh.
The starting point of the Rally Jameel for Women is particularly significant due to the natural landscapes of Hail Province. This province's unique terrain made it the starting point for the first desert rallies in the Kingdom, as well as the first women's rally in the Kingdom and the Gulf region.
During the journey, the Rally Jameel for Women team has the opportunity to explore the geographical terrains and historical sites of the Kingdom.
Participants in the Rally
Seventy women from fifteen different nationalities participated in Rally Jameel for Women, representing thirty-five teams.
