From TikTok to the Burj Khalifa: How Jumana Abdu Rahman Became the UAE’s Digital Dream

Dubai-born Jumana Abdu Rahman started as a law student at Middlesex University, but her creative spark led her down a different path. What began as fun TikTok and Instagram videos in 2017 soon turned into a powerful online presence — earning her millions of followers across the region.

Breaking Barriers

Jumana refused to be just another influencer. She stepped into acting, debuting in the Malayalam film Aanaparambile World Cup (2022) and later starring in Ghanoom the Billionaire (2023). She even entered the boxing ring for Dubai’s first-ever female influencer fight, Social Knockout 2.

Her proudest moment? Seeing her face light up the Burj Khalifa in 2021 — the only woman after Shah Rukh Khan to earn that honor.

Why Her Story Inspires

• Fearless ambition: From law to lights, Jumana proves it’s okay to rewrite your story.

• Authenticity wins: Her relatable, real-life content built deep connections online.

• Breaking molds: She’s bridged Emirati, Indian, and global audiences through creativity.

The Road Ahead

Now an actress, influencer, and entrepreneur, Jumana Abdu Rahman is redefining what it means to chase dreams in the UAE — proving that with courage and vision, even a smartphone can become a spotlight.
