Rich in heritage, culture, and effortless cool, Arab Street is wildly different during the day from what it's like at night. Both versions are worth experiencing. The shops that sell carpets, turkish lamps, textiles, crafts, items of traditional commerce, interspersed with cafes, independent clothes boutiques, Malay and Arabic restaurants, and arts centres, museums and attractions like the iconic golden mosque that brings the area together. When the sun sets the area comes alive with bars, restaurants, and even jazz music (at Blu Jazz Cafe on selected nights), and stays awake till late.
