In Arab Street you will find another part of Singapore unveiled, to be admired and loved by each and every visitor.

Arab Street is full of character and life all day long. The rigid lifelessness of the developed streets is not to be found in here. It holds true rapture for the shopaholics, as mazes of shops invite the passersby to stop awhile and be tempted a little, and bargains are yelled out to lure you some more.

It is also preferred by some over other parts of Singapore which are known to be “classy” shopping venues, as the prices here are truly unmatched while the quality of the products too remains good.

When the day time gaieties are done and have ended, the night time comes, bringing yet another flavor to your perfect holiday experience. The streets start dazzling with neon lights and distant music of bars start vibrating the air with excitement. Friends gather here to laugh and talk over dinner served up at the many restaurants, where tempting aroma of lip smacking delights hang thick like a mantle.
