Crocodile Temple in Kom Ombo
The Temple of Kom Ombo dates to the time of Ptolemies and is built on a high dune overlooking the Nile.
The Temple structure is actually two temples consisting of a temple dedicated to Sobek the Crocodile and another dedicated to Haroeris the Falcon headed god. Little remains of the original temple due to Nile silt which covered much of the temple and also builders who took its stones for other projects. In ancient times, sacred crocodiles basked in the sun on the river bank near here. - Philae Sound and Light show Take a short motorboat ride to Agilkia Island and take a walk around the elegant Philae Temple, accompanied by a full narration explaining the legend of the goddess Isis, to whom the temple complex is dedicated.
