When I first saw this I thought it was the son Hamdan!
The 27th edition of GITEX, the region's biggest annual technology event, was inaugurated today by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance and Industry.
The opening of the five-day event was marked by a ribbon cutting ceremony, which took place just after 11am at the entrance to Zabeel Hall in the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Sheikh Hamdan cut the light blue ribbon to a round of applause before going on a tour of the exhibition.
