We also see in this temple the same characteristics that we find in other Egyptian Ptolemaic temples in terms of design, architecture and decoration, but this temple has a special feature that resulted from Local worship in the place, where people worshiped two local gods, Sobek and the head of Horus, although these two gods differed in their origins and character, they lived side by side for centuries without mixing or pairing with each other, and therefore there are no two holy walls adjacent to each other. Only the sanctuaries in this temple, but also on the axis of each of these two saints there are side gates to each other, in the outer wall and in the walls of the two halls of columns and beyond, and therefore the temple is divided into two parts, each dedicated to the worship of one of these deities.
