GITEX attendees urged to use public transport

If you're heading to GITEX this week, use public transport.

That's the message from the authorities, who are urging the public to beat the traffic by using the Dubai Metro to get to and from the mega tech show.

They say the site is a short walk away from the World Trade Centre Station on the Red Line.

The annual Gitex Technology Week gets underway today and will run until Thursday.
