Yara Shalaby, 33, has become the first professional female rally driver in the country, winning several races out of 25. She is overcoming stereotypes by proving her talent as a skilled and successful racer in Egypt. 

“With every race, I force people to respect what I do and who I am,” she told Egypt Today in a previous interview. 

Entering the world of rally racing four years ago, Shalaby has already made a mark in the field; she won the first position in the amateur category of the 2014 Pharaohs International Cross Country Rally, and the second overall position. She has also won the second position in the amateur categories of the 2013 El-Remaly Desert Challenge and the 2014 El-Gouna Rally Cup. 

She is now Egypt’s ambassador to the Women in Motorsports organization.
