There are three monuments at Naga. The first one you see is actually a Roman kiosk in quite good repair. Further up the slope is a temple designed in the typical Egyptian style with temples, courtyards etc. It is in a fair state of delapidation.
Even further up the hill as another temple [to Amun?} in even greater need of repair.
The site is almost like a museum in the desert.

Since I first saw it, there has been a lot of repair and excavation taken place. the avenue of ram sphinxes has been replaced, I believe.
