into the heart of Dubai’s rich heritage.





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

               including developing street paving, installing a new gate, lighting


               enhancements, and integrating 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, emphasised 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.”
