A contract for the construction of the road was signed on 23 September 1975, for a price of US$ 25 million by Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the former deputy ruler of Dubai.

The Hyatt Regency Dubai lies on route D 90 (Al Khaleej Road), which runs parallel to the Deira Corniche.

A US$ 1.3 billion project was initiated in 2004 to restructure the area between the westend of the creek in Deira and Al Hamriya Port, which will involve new residential developments, hotels and the development of Palm Deira off the northeastern coast of Dubai.
