Khor Fakkan, like Dubai, was hot and humid! So I'm very sweaty as usual.
The Khor Fakkan Amphitheatre is an amphitheatre and a cultural landmark in the Emirate of Sharjah, located in Khor Fakkan.
The amphitheatre was opened to the public and inaugurated by the ruler of Sharjah Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi on 14 December 2020. In 21 April 2022, the amphitheatre was added to the United Arab Emirates banknotes and was featured on the 10 dirham bill.[1]
The amphitheatre is located at the foot of "Al Sayed" mountain facing the beach of the city of Khorfakkan.[2]
The Emirate of Sharjah (/ˈʃɑːrdʒə/; Arabic: إِمَارَة ٱلشَّارِقَة Imārat Aš-Šāriqah) is one of the emirates of the United Arab Emirates, which covers 2,590 square kilometres (1,000 sq mi) and has a population of over 1,400,000 (2015).[2] It comprises the capital city of Sharjah, after which it is named, and other minor towns and exclaves such as Kalba', Al Dhaid, Dibba Al-Hisn and Khor Fakkan.
The emirate is an absolute monarchy.[3] It has been ruled by Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi since 1972, except for a six-day period during an attempted coup d'etat by his brother, Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi.[4]
