In Qatar's desert, a trailblazing woman breaks into the all-male world of off-road driving

Description

Off-road driving in the Qatar desert has long been an all-male domain. For years it has attracted many adrenaline junkies, 4x4 enthusiasts and expats in search of adventure. But now a trailblazing woman is changing the face of the sport. Marcelle Visser who quickly rose through the ranks of the Qatari off-roading community is now helping to make the desert safer and encouraging many other women to also get in the driver's seat.
