Kim Ombo consists of the temple and the crocodile museum. Both are amazing! We arrived via our Nile cruise ship. It is just a short walk from the ship. We had our guide which is needed to have the major points explained. The history is fascinating. The museum consists of mummified crocodiles and other relics. It is well worth visiting.

We visited Kom Ombo all the way from Luxor and it was a bit too far to travel really.Even so it was a Temple worth seeing. We had a guide to explain all about its history and it was very interesting.The Temple had to be moved because it was being partly submerged in the River Nile.Its not one of the... More

This site has a newly built museum with mummified crocodiles, do not miss it out! The site is very interesting and has lots of quirks. Be sure to get a guide whilst going around as there are lots of really interesting bits which you would miss if you were the average tourist. In particular, look at the ground whilst walking... More

When I visited the Kom Ombo Temple had a fee of LE 30 that included entry to both the temple ruins and a "Crocodile Museum" near the exit of the ruins. The temple is located right on the Nile's edge and there has been some redevelopment that has given Kom Ombo its own little corniche along the river. Some resort... More

Once again no crowds and the terraces around the temple make it an easy walk up from the boat. the complex is in very good condition with some colour still... More

We had our tour with a guide from teh temple itself as our prearranged guide di not show up then we saw the... More

We went to the temple of Kom Ombo as part of a days outing along with the temple at Edfu. Kom Ombo is situated right alongside the river Nile and is actually 2 temples in 1. One temple is dedicated to Horus the falcon god and the other to Sobek, the crocodile god. It is not as big as other... More

I agree with others that a good guide is needed to appreciate this Temple. Checkout the Nileometer, the first calender (Hieroglyphs no less), the great stories of how the priests fooled the worshipers (nothing new here). Also very good views of the Nile. Our cruise boat docked right next to it so it is just a 'block' or so walk.... More
