        Old Municipal Streets In Deira Transform


        Into A Vibrant Pedestrian Corridor

        WAM

        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.
