Visit the Roman-inspired amphitheater and a man-made waterfall:

A day trip to Khorfakkan should include soaking up the local culture and this includes visiting the spectacular Khorfakkan Amphitheater, inspired by the grand design of the Roman Colosseum. Hungry visitors can also enjoy delicious food at the amphitheater restaurant and cafe.

Adjacent to the Amphitheatre, a magnificent 45m high waterfall cascades down the length of the amphitheater.
