        Dubai Municipality transforms Old


        Municipal Street into vibrant pedestrian



        tourist corridor



        By Middle East News 247       February 19, 2024
























        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.



        H.E. Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, emphasized 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.”
