He added: “Our main objective to revitalise the historic municipal street is to

               breathe new life into Dubai's traditional markets and landmarks 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 street paving, 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 and 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.
