Singapore Arab Street Map

Description:
This map shows hotels, shops, points of interest and tourist attractions in Singapore Arab Street.

Arab Street, located in Singapore's historic Kampong Glam district, represents one of the city's most culturally rich neighborhoods. This vibrant area was originally allocated to the Arab and Malay communities during Singapore's colonial period in the 1820s.

The street's most prominent landmark is the magnificent Sultan Mosque (Masjid Sultan), built in 1824 and reconstructed in 1932. With its golden domes and massive prayer hall, it stands as Singapore's largest historic mosque. The nearby Istana Kampong Glam, once the palace of Malay royalty, now houses the Malay Heritage Centre.

Today, Arab Street is renowned for its textile shops, offering a wide selection of traditional fabrics, including silk, batik, and Persian carpets. The area has evolved into a trendy destination featuring Middle Eastern restaurants, traditional perfume shops, and modern cafes. The surrounding streets, particularly Haji Lane and Bussorah Street, complement the district with their boutique shops, street art, and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.

Visitors can easily access Arab Street via the Bugis or Lavender MRT stations. The neighborhood is particularly lively during the Islamic month of Ramadan when the streets come alive with festive bazaars and food stalls.
