While Singapore is known for its modern malls and shopping centres that provide plenty of exciting retail therapy, the city also has many charming shopping streets full of old world charm.

Arab Street can be found near the Kampong Glam area and those wanting to stay at a 5 star hotel in Singapore from which to visit this locale can consider Regent Singapore. Considered the best hotel in Singapore by many, this well placed property provides easy access to the city and its attractions.
An area that was settled by Arab traders during the colony’s early days, Arab Street is home to a large Muslim community and offers a fascinating day out.
