Her first major indoor competition came in the form of the 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships and she reached the semi-finals, finishing fifth. Her first Olympics also came that year at the 2004 Athens Olympics and she again reached the global level semi-finals, but she and her sister suffered the same fate of being eliminated at that stage. Her other large competition that year was the 2004 Pan 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.
