This is supposedly the only Roman amphitheatre in all of Egypt. Don't forget to check out some bird mosaics on what used to be the floor of a burnt down Roman villa (just behind the amphitheatre).

how smart the roman people are at the theater there there is a place where the singer stands it gives voice when you speak like Microphone go there you will like it

this place is really huge and interesting, easily accessible by many means of transportation, dating back to the grecko-roman era it had seen many historical events so be prepared and read before you go
