Aerial view of the Temple of Alexander the Great in Farafra. The drawing is in portrait format and has no frame. Inscriptions are visible on the reverse.
A vast enclosure, pierced by a monumental gate, stands at the end of a road. A camel caravan halts along its walls. Inside the wall, a small temple and a succession of chambers can be seen, arranged on either side of two lanes.
