        Revival of heritage markets



        He added: “Our main objective to revitalize the historic municipal street is to breathe new
        life into the traditional markets and landmarks of Dubai, while also enhancing the tourist

        experience through innovative approaches. This involves enriching the area's visual
        appeal with heritage-inspired elements that capture its unique identity, integrating

        recreational amenities, and creating pedestrian-friendly spaces. Additionally, we aim to
        activate and stimulate the adjacent markets to boost tourism attraction to the region.



        The municipality carried out complete paving of the street, which was completely closed to

        vehicular traffic for smooth operations. This initiative was aimed at enriching the
        experience of tourists and visitors by making the area more identifiable, while also

        fostering commercial activity to encourage investors to expand their businesses in line

        with the street’s new identity.


        Located in the Al Ras area of Deira, the Old Municipal Street links to various heritage

        markets that overlook the banks of the Dubai Creek. These markets - including the Gold,

        Dates, Fragrances, Al Ras, and Spices markets - are distinctive tourist destinations that
        reflect Dubai’s history and the authentic identity of the UAE.
