2/20/24, 11:15 AM                 Dubai Municipality Transforms Old Municipal Street into Vibrant Pedestrian Tourist Corridor
        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 revitalised

        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.





        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
