Free parking and more about Gitex
###
For our very first update, free parking on one side at the venue is already full. There’s free parking on both sides. When you exit for the service road you can see the free parking right away before you get to the paid one. There is paid parking behind the venue.

The walk from the free parking to the gitex venue takes about 10-14 minutes. It includes a pedestrian bridge and 2 elevator rides.
###
Metro access
###
Sheikh Saeed Hall is right next to the World Trade Centre Metro Station, so metro access is easy and we strongly suggest using the metro to get here.
###
This being the biggest physical retail marketplace for IT and consumer electronics devices in the Gulf region, it’s quite a challenge to cover everything in one go.
###
So here’s our plan: We’ll give you an early peek into best deals of the day, useful bundles, gizmos, and the hottest devices.
###
No, we’re not covering e-cigarettes here. It’s bad for you. Go hunt for it yourself.
