Morocco's gazelles adventure rally starts

Some 90 female pilots from all over the world started recently competing in a nine-stage rally, exclusively for women to test their endurance and taste of adventure in the varied and challenging Moroccan landscape.

Eleven Moroccan pilots are participating in the 9th edition of the rally, known as "Trophee Aicha des Gazelles." The competitors will turn off engines next May 4 after having crossed 2,000 km in the Moroccan mountain and desert areas.
