View Full Version : Singapore STREETSCAPE - Charming Arab Street
RafflesCity October 23rd, 2006, 05:04 PM The Sultan of Singapore and his Malay followers once resided here. This has been a historically important area in Singapore since its founding.
Today, it is a conservation zone.
Panoramic overview - the area can be spotted by the red roofs of the rows of shophouses

philadweller July 17th, 2008, 05:11 PM Wow, I never realized how many old buildings the city had. I am more impressed by what is happening at street level than the skyline.
spikeshamz July 17th, 2008, 05:27 PM That is SIngapore.. Lots of things happening down there that people never realised.. I love it...
Audiomuse July 19th, 2008, 10:01 PM Wow I love it!
