Why go
The temple’s double arrangement reflects the worship of two deities: crocodile-associated Sobek and falcon-associated Horus the Elder. The surviving building largely belongs to the Greco-Roman period. Its symmetrical religious spaces distinguish it from the more usual single-axis temple plan.
