Old Municipal Streets In Deira Transform


               Into A Vibrant Pedestrian Corridor
               Updated on 20 February 2024


































               Dubai Municipality has completed the Old Municipal Street project in Deira, turning it from a


               regular road into a lively pedestrian-friendly tourist destination. This revitalised street, extending
               from the Al Ras area to the famous Gold Souq, offers visitors an immersive experience of


               Dubai's vibrant heritage.


               As part of the project, the municipality executed a comprehensive renovation, which included
               enhancing the street pavement, installing a new gate, improving lighting, and adding heritage


               features like the iconic Al Mandus. To provide comfort and preserve authenticity, traditional
               seating areas and heritage-inspired umbrellas now adorn the street, giving tourists a glimpse


               into the historical charm of one of Dubai's oldest areas.

               Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, emphasised the strategic significance

               of the Old Municipal Street project as part of a broader initiative to rejuvenate Deira and Bur

               Dubai’s historic areas, as well as various heritage sites and markets across the Emirate.
