Dubai is set for a bustling week as two major international events, Expand North Star and GITEX GLOBAL, bring thousands of visitors, exhibitors and investors to the city.
From Sunday, 12 October until 15 October, the startup and investor showcase Expand North Star will take place at Dubai Harbour, drawing significant activity around Dubai Marina and surrounding areas. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated tech-event GITEX GLOBAL begins on 13 October at the Dubai World Trade Centre and goes on until 17 October. GITEX GLOBAL is expected to attract large crowds and heavy traffic along Sheikh Zayed Road and surrounding routes.
While Dubai will see an exciting display of the city’s growing global business and innovation scene during these days, commuters should also ideally plan journeys ahead, use public transport, and allow extra travel time to avoid delays.
