The
Temple of Hibis, dedicated to Amun of Hibis,
is the largest temple in the Kharga Oasis
and
the only
intact
structure
from the Saite and Persian periods. Several
blocks found on the site point to the
existence of an earlier temple here. The
surrounding
town has never been excavated because
of the modern structures that have been built
above it.
