Interesting to see the Crocodile God (Sobek) and to see the mummified crocodiles. Again this was another temple but had some unique features such as the dual gods, the calendar of events, and the crocodile carvings to name a few.

We included seeing this spectacularly well preserved temple on our trip from Luxor south to Aswan arranged thru Memphis Tours. The quaility of the carvings and other art is amazing. Definitely try to include this temple on your trip planning

Every temple has its own story and unique attractions. This one contains some interesting hieroglyphs and areas with original paint. There are a couple of noteworthy construction features which hopefully your guide will point out otherwise you can eavesdrop on someone else’s guide.

There is an almost eerie feeling wandering around these deserted structures amidst the desertand seeing onlt a few locals desperately trying tosell you some wares. We obliged- it was... More

Beautiful temple dedicated to the crocodile Goa Sombek. We visited this temple on our way back from Aswan going to Luxor. Well worth the couple of hours spent admiring the temple and the view. Infact there were no other visitors and we had the temple all to ourselves ! A must do if you are in the area.

The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique temple in Egypt. dedicated to two gods, Sobek the crocidile headed god and the falcon god Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder.
