  Kom Ombo

  Then continue your day tour to Kom Ombo, where you will be able to witness the greatness of the Temple of Kom Ombo standing on higher ground overlooking The Nile. It differs from other temples because of its double entrances; each one is dedicated to a certain ancient Egyptian God: “Haroeris” with his falcon head and “Sobek” with his crocodile head. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built on the honor of two deities: the crocodile-headed Sobek, god of fertility and the creator of the world, and Haroeris or the ancient falcon-headed Horus. Also, Kom Ombo’s importance lies in its huge sugar-cane fields, as it is originally an agricultural town, producing mostly irrigated sugar cane and corn.
