About Danni in The Desert
Hey! I’m Danni 🙂
I’ve called Dubai home since 2013, leaving behind my family and friends in the UK. I’ve lived in JLT, Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah. I’ve experienced Dubai both as a resident and tourist, first as a solo female and later as a mum with a toddler in tow!
Which is why I decided to create this website to share all my insider knowledge that you won’t find anywhere else!
Helping you avoid the common challenges that come with visiting or living in Dubai.
Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions about Dubai. So I’m also passionate about breaking stereotypes of Muslims and Dubai.
