The Street is located at Jalan Berangan, Kuala Lumpur where you can find a mini market called Naab, a laundry and dry-cleaning service and most importantly, there is a restaurant called Sahara Tent, arguably the centre of Arab Street, which overlooks an Arabian-themed garden and is attached to Hotel Fortuna.

Sahara Tent has become a focal point of the tiny Arab community. The restaurant, with its Moorish arches and tinkling fountains, often draws Arab patrons (though the restaurant is also popular with the locals. Many can be seen dining in the restaurant's lush carpeted interior (with privacy booths for veiled women to dine in private) or smoking pipe outside.

The place becomes a beehive of activity in the peak season in June and July when Arab flock to Malaysia as it is their school holidays during those months. Many Arab tourists travel to Malaysia also to escape the scorching summer heat.
