Mina Al Hamriya (
Palm Deira, once complete, will form the northern periphery of Mina Al Hamriya. The route D 92
(Al Khaleej Road) runs roughly parallel along the locality of Mina Al Hamriya.
In 1975, a
US$ 5.4 million) contract with the Dubai Government was set up to develop Al Hamriya Port. This was partially in response to the increase in commercial activity in Dubai, which put great pressure on the Dubai Creek.[2]
The purpose of the port was to handle small fishing ships, as well as to accommodate some of the commercial ships destined for Dubai.
Like all other ports in the city, Mina Al Hamriya is now managed by
quay by 2.5 km in two phases.[3]
