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.
