Al Hajri: The first phase of the comprehensive plan for the development of the old
area of Deira and Bur Dubai has been successfully completed, preserving the
important historical and commercial area and enhancing its attractiveness.
DUBAI, UAE – 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 revitalized 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.
