Dubai Municipality has completed the Old Municipal Street project in Deira, turning it from a regular
road into a lively pedestrian-friendly tourist destination. This revitalised street, extending from the Al

Ras area to the famous Gold Souq, offers visitors an immersive experience of Dubai's vibrant

heritage.

As part of the project, the municipality executed a comprehensive renovation, which included

enhancing the street pavement, installing a new gate, improving lighting, and adding heritage
features like the iconic Al Mandus. To provide comfort and preserve authenticity, traditional seating

areas and heritage-inspired umbrellas now adorn the street, giving tourists a glimpse into the

historical charm of one of Dubai's oldest areas.

Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, emphasised the strategic significance 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.
