Medium Sized Phoenician Temple measuring about 30 Meters by 15 Meters dedicated to the Phoenician Goddess Atargatis in Greek style in East West orientation. Right next to the smaller Hadaranes Temple in Village of Niha, which used to be called Nihata in Antiquity.

There is a small altar in front of the Temple.
