Half Day: Kom Ombo



• Leave the hotel by
private car, reaching Kom Ombo after one hour drive on
the Upper Egypt Corniche & across the countryside.
• Visit the Temple of Kom Ombo which stands on high
grounds overlooking the Nile. It differs from other
temples by its double entrance, each of which is
dedicated to a divinity: "Haroeris" with his falcon head
& "Sobek" with his crocodile head.
• Although Kom Ombo is a small village, its importance
lies in its huge sugarcane plantations
