Take the advantage and visit Edfu Temple which was built at the Battlamy age for the
god Horus 237 BC. -
Temple of Kom Ombo - You will also visit the Temple of Komombo which was erected at the Batlamyos the sixth. Its walls were decoration which is marked by exactness and beauty.
Dating from 180BC, Kom Ombo Temple is unusual because it is duplicated, mirroring itself on either side of a central axis. This is because it was dedicated to two gods: Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world along with Hathor and Khonsu, and also Horus, and each needed their own set of rooms. Sobek was the crocodile god so, of course, crocodiles were mummified for him. Some of the hundreds that have been discovered nearby are now on display in the temple.Time, the Nile River, earthquakes and later builders taking the stone for other buildings, have all taken a toll on this building. The surrounding town of Kom Ombo is now home to many of the Nubians displaced by the flooding to make Lake Nasser.
