Arab street was a nice, calm area when we visited. The people we friendly, plenty of cafes and shops, and rather enjoyable. The highlight was probably stopping in at a couple of perfume shops.

Loved the little quirky shops, the vibe of arab street is lovely. The bright colours of the street shops and all the materials. The smell of shisha in the air.

It was only when I happened to walk across Bugis, that I came across Arab street. I didn't even knew this place existed until then. The first sight of the street leaves you wondering whether you landed up in some arab country with the streets named "Bussorah Road", "Baghdad street", "Moscow Street", "Arab Street" and etc. A very good place...

Like how the street got its name, the Arabs and other Muslim traders meet to their trading in the olden days, not too far from Kampong Glam. Hence, until today there concentrated trader and vendor from Middle-east and countries around it. Here, they have shops selling textile, rugs and carpet and spices. There are many popular Middle-eastern and Indian eateries.

An excellent way to spend an afternoon. A mix of old shops, mosque, tourist shops and great food. Sit down for a tea at any of the corner shops and enjoy a relaxed part of Singapore. For younger shopping, Haji Lane is worth a visit.

Great atmosphere, loads of hidden gems, boutique shops, trendy cocktail bars, and plenty of great meze food. Try the apple tea its very refreshing

Less pricey than the trendy clark and boat quay. Good for shopping during the day, at night it is magical, see the streets turn into restaurant tables and people conversing and laughing over dinner and smoking sheesha while at it. Open terraces, good bars and music too, narrow streets. Quite a good experience over here.

there is many middle east restaurant in this area. located near of Bugis MRT. you can walk about 10 minutes from Bugis Junction to this area
