        destination that seamlessly merges contemporary allure with ancient cultural landmarks.”

        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.
