Arab Games in Algiers, where she won the silver medal. She ran at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics, failing to make it past the heats, but she scored an 800/1500 m double at the 2005 Jeux de la Francophonie at the end of the year. Aït Hammou won the 1500 m gold medal at the 2007 Pan Arab Games, and also joined her sister in the Moroccan team to win the silver in the 4×400 metres relay. After being eliminated in the semi-finals at the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships she was preparing to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics. This was not to be, however, as both she and her sister were banned from competition by the IAAF for missing three out of competition doping tests between June 2007 and May 2008, resulting in a year-long ban from the sport. She returned at the end of the 2009 season and competed at the 2009 Jeux de la Francophonie. She won the 800 m gold and also took 1500 m bronze in a closely run Moroccan sweep of the event, with Btissam Lakhouad and Siham Hilali the other medallists.
