“I’m really looking forward to taking part in the activities over the race weekend and I hope that my story and journey can provide some inspiration to anyone thinking of following their dream,” she said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia lifted a ban on women driving in 2018 and Juffali became the first Saudi female license holder to compete in a series that same year.
Sunday’s Formula One race will be the third of four in the Middle East this season and could also be a title decider.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen leads Mercedes‘ seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton by eight points ahead of the penultimate round.
