Kom Ombo Temple

- PeriodPtolemaic (c. 180–47 BC)
- LocationKom Ombo
- Opening HoursDaily 07:00 – 21:00
Kom Ombo is unusual among Egyptian temples because it is perfectly symmetrical, with two parallel sets of courts, halls and sanctuaries — one dedicated to Sobek the crocodile god, the other to Horus the Elder.
Its riverside setting makes it a favourite stop on Nile cruises, and it is one of the few temples that stays open into the evening.
What you will see
- The twin entrances and twin sanctuaries.
- Reliefs of surgical instruments and a calendar of festivals.
- The Crocodile Museum, with mummified crocodiles.
- The Nilometer and the riverside setting.
Practical tips
- The Crocodile Museum is included in the temple ticket.
- Most cruise ships stop here for 1–1.5 hours.
- Late afternoon light on the river is excellent for photographs.
