  • Temple of Kom Ombo
    At 7:00 am, your knowledgeable tour guide will greet you at your Aswan hotel or Nile Cruise, setting the stage for an enriching exploration. Unlike other ancient Egyptian temples, Kom Ombo boasts a distinctive double entrance, a testament to its dedication to two distinct yet equally revered deities. One side pays homage to Haroeris, the powerful falcon-headed god, symbolizing the sky and kingship. The other honors Sobek, the formidable crocodile-headed god, embodying fertility and believed to be the creator of the world. As you traverse the temple's well-preserved halls and courtyards, your guide will illuminate the fascinating mythology and historical significance of both Haroeris and Sobek. Marvel at the intricate carvings and detailed reliefs that narrate ancient rituals and beliefs. Discover the harmonious coexistence of these seemingly contrasting deities within the temple's sacred walls, offering a profound insight into the complexity of ancient Egyptian religious practices.

Discover the legendary tale of Horus, the falcon-headed god, who avenged his father Osiris's murder by defeating Seth within these very grounds. Feel the echoes of this powerful myth as you wander through the temple's impressive halls and sanctuaries.
