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!

Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions about Dubai. I’m really passionate about breaking stereotypes of Muslims, Arabs and Dubai.
