Skip the generic malls and head straight for Haji Lane's mural-packed alleys and boutiques. You really come here for the Sultan Mosque photo op and the Arabic Quarters culture food tour—specifically the teh tarik and murtabak at Zam Zam. Spend about three hours wandering between the textile shops on Arab Street and the indie cafes. It gets humid, so booking a Lion City Bike Tour helps you cover the ground without melting. Grab a rug, not a souvenir keychain.
