Haji Lane is a part of Kampong Glam, the ethnic district known for its Malay-Arab influence. Walking through the street would already have you know that without prior knowledge. Arab street really lives up to its namesake, the smells of different scents and sights of the few remaining carpet/textile selling shops with the ostentatious Sultan Mosque. However the appearance of newer shops is also just as obvious. More and more fashion boutiques offering indie labels are filling the shop houses. Cafes and bars are the main people magnets, most of them being shisha outlets. There is also a pretty long history behind shisha. I have no idea what is to happen to this place in future. But it'll be nice if you could still see someone bubbling his waterpipe.
