The temple is 76 m long and 22 m wide in dimension. A pylon dominates the facade of the Temple. However, it contains no scenes or inscriptions of any type. The pylon has an opening that leads to the inner part of the temple. To the left-hand side of the entrance inside the temple, there are some inscriptions of the builder, the Romanian Emperor Augustus presenting the offerings to the god Horus. There are also some writings by Egyptian Copts who resorted to the Temple to escape from the brutality of the Roman rulers of Egypt in the first days of Christianity in Egypt. Afterward, there are two small chambers that were used by the priests to reach the roof of the Temple to know the time and the dates of certain religious events. An open courtyard that contains 14 columns that have some remarkably decorated stone capitals then follows the pylon. There are also four side chambers at this courtyard. The Temple has a Nilometer that was used to measure the level of the water of the River Nile. It was used to know the percentage of the flood of the River Nile in order to estimate the value of the taxes to be paid by the peasants of ancient Egypt.

The temple was situated on the west bank of the Nile River, in Nubia, and was originally built around 30 BC during the early Roman era. You can simply explore the Kalabsha temple to learn about the Egyptian History with Magic life tours.
