Temples in Avaris existed both in Egyptian and Levantine style, the later presumably for Levantine gods.
The Hyksos are known to have worshiped the Canaanite storm god Baal-zephon, who was associated with the Egyptian god Set.
Set appears to have been the patron god of Avaris as early as the Fourteenth Dynasty.
Hyksos iconography of their kings on some scarabs shows a mixture of Egyptian pharaonic dress with a raised club, the iconography of Baal-zephon.
Despite later sources claiming the Hyksos were opposed to the worship of other gods, votive objects given by Hyksos rulers to gods such as Ra, Hathor, Sobek, and Wadjet have also survived.
