Nice temple! Really breathtaking at night with all the lights the the proximity to the Nile. Very open and lots of heiroglyphs to see. Also a pretty cool Roman well. The crocodile mummy museum was pretty interesting which is right next door.
The journey starts by boat, which some beautiful views of the surrounding areas. The temple is interesting and can be viewed or experienced in a few hours. There are information posters to guide you along the way. A cafe and washroom services are available. A good experience.
That's a fantastic choice! The Kom Ombo Temple is one of the most unique and beautiful sites in Upper Egypt, often visited as part of a Nile cruise. The most distinguishing feature of Kom Ombo is its double design. It is perfectly symmetrical along its main axis, with two complete sets of courts, halls, and sanctuaries, dedicated to two different triads of gods. Location: Situated right on the Nile River, about 48 kilometers (30 miles) north of Aswan. Its location on a high hill makes for excellent views, especially at sunset.
Beautiful temple filled with many wonders. An amazing description of the surgical instruments they used which were amazingly similar to our own, and mummified crocodiles at the end. Worth seeing. Bring a guide.
A beautiful temple next to the Nile river. We visited the temple in the evening and it was breathtaking. The temple is divided into two sections for two different Egyption gods. There is also a museum showcasing the mummification of crocidiles during that period. Kom Ombo Temple is a must see. Please ensure you have a guide with you to explain the wonderful and rich history of the temple.
