EDITORIAL
A Visionary Event
The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc was a pioneer in terms of concept and innovation. Breaking down prejudices and clichés, it has never stopped growing, developing, and evolving with its time around its founding values: courage, self-improvement, loyalty, mutual support, and environmental and social commitment.
Since its creation, it has earned well-deserved legitimacy among the general public,
the people of Morocco, its participants, and its partners.
Our strength has always been
in foresight, and we have been particularly attentive and innovative when it comes to
environmental respect.
We are proud to be, since 2010, the only automotive event in the world to have obtained ISO 14001: 2015 certification.
Each year, the organization dreams big to balance the harshness of the terrain with the (re)comfort of the bivouac because these women, coming from all over the world, deserve our admiration.
And Unique!
It would never have gained its reputation without that extra soul that makes it so unique in the world of off-road rally-raid, where our loyal partners recognize themselves. Without all this, the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc would only be a brief moment. However, for me and for everyone involved in the event, it brings us all back to that essential notion of humanity. It is the adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that often inspires people to change their lives—and the lives of those around them.An adventure for which the Gazelles have found the signature Gazelle for a day – Gazelle forever
