Located on a high plateau overlooking
the Koura district, the Naous temples are reached by turning right
after Kousba to the village of Ain Akreen. The temples are on
the far side of the village.
Here are two temples sites, each
with enclosures and well-preserved doorways. The reconstructed
"eastern temple" has one wall intact and parts of two
other walls. The "western temple" has not been fully
reconstructed, but its foundation and the tumbled columns and
capitals show it was a large impressive structure. On this site
is a damaged bust of the Roman sun god, Helios.
