Although nicknamed the "Administration Building" for its dominating
position on a hill at the southern end of the site, the architecture
of this structure resembles more that of a temple. It consist of three
large rooms. The third, which is partly cut out of the rock, has portions
of its stone roof still in place. The door of the second room is flanked
by niches, each crowned by a tympanum. The door itself has a cavetto
moulding on top, characteristic of Pharaonic architecture. The walls
were partly stabilized during the summer 2002 and winter 2003 seasons,
but the over four meters high walls require a more thorough reconstruction
to survive the coming years.
