The artistic and cultural landmark marks a new milestone in the Emirate’s cultural journey.
“We intend to celebrate Sharjah’s newest cultural landmark with a memorable night of music featuring two prominent superstars. This will be an occasion for the people of the emirate to enjoy an exceptional evening of beautiful music and joy at the emirate’s latest cultural and entertainment destination, while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all those attending the concert,” he added.
The 190,000-sq.ft. Roman-style amphitheatre was inaugurated by the Ruler of Sharjah on December 14. The semicircular structure has an imposing stone facade that includes 234 arches and 295 columns and is situated on an elevated hillock overlooking the Khorfakkan corniche.
