GITEX, Gulf Info Tech Exhibition is one of the top 3 major IT expo in the world. Even though the entry is Dhs 25 (Dhs15 for GITEX Shopper), it attracts over 1.2 mn visitors.
Shoppers get a good deal, Business soars at this point of time, the “IT section” of this region get bustling with activity. Although I didn’t go to the GulfComms Expo at the Dubai World Trade Center, I was there at the GITEX Shopper at Dubai Airport Expo grounds. It was a fun filled day which I won’t forget as it was my first big outing here in the UAE and I’m a sort of geek and we all like to get pampered to good IT products.
Microsoft announced it’s LOVE (Launch of Office, Vista and Exchange), Sony launched it’s PS3 gaming console, HP announced it’s new range of laptops, etc… We get to see Laptops, Desktops, LCD & Plasma TVs, Digicams, Cell phones, Music Players, etc. under a single roof at a discounted rates.
How to get a good deal at GITEX?
The best possible deal that you can hope to get in GITEX will be on the last day, last hour of the GITEX Shopper expo. You get the so called “Last Day Price” and the deal of the day. Within minutes exhibitors reduce the price of the products. Myself and my friend was rooming around to buy a Nokia N 70 mobile phone. It was costing around Dhs 1170 (~ Rs 14,200) and the N 70 Music Edition was costing around Dhs 1280 (~ Rs 15,500). Then in the last hour of the day, one exhibitor reduced the price of N 70 to just Dhs 999 (~ 12,100)!
Similarly you get good offers on Laptops, Digicams, LCD and Plasma TVs, and other computer peripherals and accessories. So just make sure that you’re in the last day of the GITEX expo to get the best possible deal.
Of Planes Landing in your Dinner Table and Chicks!
After finishing our work there, we all went to have our dinner in a Restaurant near our place at 1 am. We then decided to have it outside the Restaurant (I mean in the pavements). That places is near to the airport. It was great feeling to see Planes come to land (in peak time, there’ll be a plane landing/taking off once in ever 3-4 minutes and you can see upto 5 planes in the sky at a time!). The planes were flying low and it seems as though they’re landing in our tables!
Before I wind up this post, I must say that Dubai’s Exhibitions, Expo and Fairs attract chicks of all kinds. Right from the Desi chicks to Filipino chicks to European chicks to African chicks (!) to American chicks. Most of the saleswomen also look stunning. Perfect sleek look to sex bait! You have to come and see to believe it!
My next stop is the Dubai Shopping Festival to be held for 45 days from December 20th till February 2nd. So long till then…

[...] Where and what Digicams to buy? I’m planning to buy a Digicam. This Dubai Shopping festival is around the corner as well. Even in the GITEX promotions, I saw Nikon and Canon 6 MP models (I don’t know the name of the models) for Dhs 1000 (~ Rs 12,000) with 1GB/512MB card and Epson Photo Printer. Sony 7/8 MP model was costing around Dhs 1,450 (~ Rs. 17,000 - 17,500). Are these cams cheap? We’ll be getting similar type of offers during DSF as well. Can I go for them? Now my cousin is going to Chennai (via Dubai where he’ll be waiting for over 5-6 hours for the Emirates conmnecting flight to Chennai). So I want to know if cams are cheap in USA, Dubai or in India? I’ve no idea abt the rates of various cams in India. I don’t care about the brand whether it’s Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm or Kodak.. I want to buy a good cam with the picture stabilization thing, good quality in low lights as well and should last long. I’m ready to spend upto Dhs 1500 (~ Rs 18,500 / $425). Now I have 3 cams in mind: Canon A710 IS Canon SD800 IS Canon S3 IS I don’t care abt the 1 MP difference in the first 2 and the last model. Zoom is also not a big factor. This SD800 IS is sleek and "flat" compared to A 710. Will it be good to shoot stuffs..I mean will it be OK to hold and have a nice grip over the cam? I’m no photographer but I always love to take good shots.. SD800 IS and A710 IS both have 7 MP only. Cnet has rated 7.8 for SD800 IS and 7.6 for A 710 IS. Both looks similar only with no difference in features. I think I’ll with A710 IS only. At Dhs 1350 (Rs 16,400 or $365), is it worth? Or do you suggest me any other mobile within Dhs 1500 / Rs 18,000 / $425? Suggestions guys…. Also where to buy? In Chennai, New York or in Dubai?
