2/20/24, 11:06 AM                 Dubai Municipality transforms Old Municipal Street into vibrant pedestrian tourist corridor
        Dubai, UAE: Dubai Municipality has successfully completed the Old Municipal Street
        project in Deira, marking a significant transformation from a traditional thoroughfare to a

        bustling commercial pedestrian tourist pass.  Stretching from the Ras area to the

        renowned Gold Market, this revitalized street promises an immersive journey into the
        heart of Dubai’s rich heritage.



        Under the project, the municipality carried out a comprehensive overhaul, including

        developing street paving, installation of a new gate, lighting enhancements, and the
        integration of heritage elements such as the iconic Al Mandus. To ensure comfort and

        authenticity, the street is now adorned with traditional seating areas and heritage-inspired
        umbrellas, offering tourists a glimpse into the historical essence of one of Dubai's oldest

        places.



        H.E. Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, emphasized the
        strategic importance 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. Al Hajri said: “We are working towards making Dubai more

        attractive and aesthetic by providing attractive and integrated facilities while preserving

        the Emirate's historical architectural identity. This is to cement the status of Dubai as a
        premier global tourist destination that seamlessly merges contemporary allure with

        ancient cultural landmarks.”
