As the country's only woman licensed to drive a motorcycle in Oman, Nashwa al Kindy draws stares and contempt. But the criticism does not faze the 27-year-old high school dropout. In fact, she is hoping to launch an all-female bikers club.

Quote from the article:

With her helmet glittering in the sun as she tears down roads with male bikers, the 27-year-old high school dropout is largely met with contempt by compatriots in this intensely conservative country. “Because I was the first one, authorities were trying to look for an excuse not to grant me a motor bike licence but they couldn’t find any law that forbids Omani women not to get one,” Ms al Kindy said. According to the motor vehicle licensing records, Ms al Kindy is the only licensed Omani female biker in the country, a year after she passed her riding test. But Ms al Kindy has plans to ensure she is not the last.
