temple of kom ombo

Right on the waters edge this temple is a little stunner- although not so little when you get inside- none of them are. Absolutely beautiful. Our Nile cruise ship was moored along side so we had a fab photo opportunity at sunset..stunning. Some nice little shops to look at if you can bare the hassle- much easier in the quieter evenings...a nice little coffee shop too.. The crocodile museum is interesting..mummy crocs....who would have thought it...

Probably the least impressive temple we went to on our nile cruise. But the crocodile museum was very interesting

Compared to some of the other Nile temples this one is not in great repair or as impressive, but it is interesting because it was dedicated to both good and evil and the mummified crocodiles next door in the museum are testimony to it.

it is historical place where you will know great information about how people lived that time, you should have a guide to describe each place and drawing meaning and what it reflects to, you can take a nile cruse from there back to aswan for 6 hours where you can enjoy the weather and the nile view.

I have seen many of the temples and they are starting to get a little bit same same.This place was very unusual and I would still recommend to anyone!

It is really important to be with a tour guide or have an audio guide, as it can be tricky trying to understand what you are looking at. This was breathtaking. So much history and so many intact ruins

Lots to see and I particularly enjoyed finding out about medical practices of the time. Our guide was able to pick out and show us many interesting pieces in relation to this

Extremely beautiful and intricate work which is at the same time large enough to be majestic and imposing. No baby strollers possible but lots of gravel for the kids to play in. Must see the engravings at the back of the temple as well as the calendar.

worth a trip, by now, you probably have seen 5 temples already, coming from Theben and Luxor. but this one is compact and has a unique dedication to Sobek, due to a bend in the river that spilled crocs there post a regular flood.

Temple dedicated to two indigenous gods of the Aswan area, where ancient Egyptian medicine reached an apex. The most interesting display is the crocodile mummies.

The carvings are interesting and it displays the medical practises followed at that time. The medical knowledge of ancient Egyptians is commendable. The mummified crocodiles are fascinating. Overall monument is well kept and lightings are superb.

Kim Ombo had some very unique, health related, carvings/heiroglyphs. A very clear set related to child birth and a piece related to virility (?). Well worth a visit. As at most Egyptian sites, the vendors are VERY aggressive.

So this was a place of ancient healing and medicine. Inscriptions tell of miraculous healings and medical knowledge and skills that modern medicine is still figuring out! The 20m crocodiles must have scared people to wellness!! Find the birthing relief - you can tell that those with trouble in this area still come here to receive blessings for impending birth.

one of few temples where the you can see ancient medical instruments that was used in old Egypt. Genus people the calendar is amazing

Just like most of the Temples in Egypt this is another beautiful temple. The hieroglyphics are very well preserved.
