The theater overlooks the Mediterranean, and the acoustics are so perfect that a whisper on the stage can be heard in the last row. The day includes performances in the theater (when security permits), and the celebration of Libya's Roman heritage. Sabratha, along with Leptis Magna and Oea (Tripoli), was one of the three cities of Tripolitania.
