Day Tour to Kom Ombo and Edfu

The Kom Ombo Temple is a very unusual double temple that was first built during the time of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, called also the Temple of Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility and creator of the world. The temple stands at a bend in the Nile. The temple has a double entrance; one side of the temple is devoted to Sobek, the crocodile God.The other side of the temple is devoted to the falcon god Haroeris, otherwise called Horus the Elder. This side of the temple is so perfectly symmetrical along the main axis it’s quite unusual and astounding. Proceed to visit Edfu Temple. Set out by horse-drawn carriage to visit the Temple of Horus, the most perfectly preserved of all the Nile temples. Horus, also known as Haroeris, was the falcon-headed solar war god. Drive back to Aswan.
