Al Hamriya Port (Arabic: ميناء الحمرية, transliteration: mināʾa al-ḥamrīya), also known as Port Al Hamriya or Mina Al Hamriya, is a port-locality in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Al Hamriya Port is one of the smaller ports in Dubai; it is located in Deira, off the northeastern coast of the city. Al Hamriya Port is bordered to the south by Al Waheda and Abu Hail and to the south and east by Al Mamzar. The Palm Deira, once complete, will form the northern periphery of Al Hamriya Port. The route D 92 (Al Khaleej Road) runs roughly parallel along the locality of Al Hamriya Port.
Like all other ports in the city, Al Hamriya Port is managed by Dubai Ports World. The port plays a key role in facilitating trade between Dubai and countries in South Asia and East Africa. Food, automobile spare parts, and livestock comprise the bulk of trade through the port. Al Hamriya Port is in the process of being expanded, which includes augmentation of its commercial quay by 2.5 km in two phases. [2]
