Anika Eliz Baby

Dubai is a thriving city that has become the center of every major event in the region! While we love that, the traffic can be a bit of a situation! But fear not, because the ever-efficient RTA has got a plan that’ll ensure you miss long queues and save some time searching for parking.

As GITEX Global Event 2024 kicks off in Dubai, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is fully dedicated to ensuring a smooth travel experience for all commuters. By optimizing traffic management and enhancing the flow of public and private transport, the RTA is making it easier for attendees to navigate the city and access the event efficiently.

Using public transportation for an event of this calibre has never been easier! One of the RTA’s key initiatives is the promotion of public transportation, which is supported by an integrated network of buses and the metro system. This network provides seamless connectivity across Dubai, enabling residents and visitors alike to move quickly and conveniently between key locations.

The RTA has taken several measures to ease commuting for GITEX Global Event 2024 attendees

  1. Enhanced public transportation services: The RTA has increased the frequency of buses and added additional vehicles to service multiple pick-up points and metro stations.
  2. Shuttle bus service: Park at Al Wasl Club parking and Zabeel Dubai Mall parking, to catch the free shuttle buses to transport you to and from the event location.
  3. Real-time updates: Commuters can follow the RTA’s official social media channels, including their X account, for live traffic and transportation updates throughout the event.
  4. A fleet of taxis specifically for GITEX Global Event 2024 attendees: This will ensure reduced waiting times and faster service. The increased taxi capacity will alleviate queues at DWTC and help facilitate the convenient movement of participants.
  5. Try your best to use the metro: The metro system offers direct access to the event venue, significantly cutting down on travel time while easing road congestion. Visitors are encouraged to park at Centerpoint Station, Etisalat e& Station, and Jebel Ali Station and continue their journey on the metro to the event.
  6. Dedicated parking: Event attendees are encouraged to park IN the Al Kifaf and Al Jafiliya areas to take the metro to the exhibition

These efforts aim to reduce congestion and ensure smooth, efficient travel for all participants, allowing them to focus on the event without the stress of transportation issues.

In a nutshell, Key Travel Tips for GITEX Global Event 2024:

  • Use the metro for fast and direct access to the venue.
  • Park at Centerpoint Station, Etisalat e& Station, and Jebel Ali Station and continue via metro.
  • Park at Al Wasl Club and Za’abeel at Dubai Mall, and hop on a shuttle bus.
