Gitex Global kicks off today and people are flocking from various parts of the world to see what the event is offering. It’s important to understand one thing: during peak hours, the smooth flow of traffic can quickly turn into a chaotic nightmare, testing the patience of even the most seasoned commuters. Let’s make a note of these pointers to schedule your timelines better.
1. Gitex attendees have the option of parking their cars at the Za’abeel extension of Dubai Mall or Al Wasl Club. Both locations offer ample parking spaces, courtesy of the RTA. To reach the DWTC from these parking areas, visitors can conveniently hop on the provided shuttle buses.
2. Gridlocked with the rapid influx of vehicles, Dubai roads – sometimes function like tortoises. However, the Metro will continue to run normally. The closest and most convenient stations would be Etisalat by e&, Centre Point, or Jabal Ali – which will drop you directly to the World Trade Centre. This will definitely help you escape the phenomenon of “rush hour”, as thousands of individuals navigate their way to work, schools, and other destinations.
3. “There will also be a dedicated taxi area with a capacity for 300 vehicles that will be operational close to the two venues. Shuttle buses, meanwhile, will transport passengers between DWTC Metro Station and Max Station, as well as between Gitex Global parking areas,” Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, has said, as per Khaleej Times.
Brimming with people from every corner of the world, known as a truly global hub, the country never fails to initiate spontaneous solutions. The world’s largest tech event, GITEX GLOBAL, brings together industry leaders, governments, startups, investors, and corporate buyers to redefine the digital landscape.
