Kom Ombo is about thirty miles north of Aswan. The Temple of Kom Ombo was overlooking the Nile on a sand bluff. It was a very interesting temple and much of it was in good shape. It was not nearly as ancient as many others which is perhaps why it was in such good shape. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built during the Greco-Roman period and between the years 332 B.C. to AD 395 (a long building process). It was finally completed by Cleopatra VII’s father. This temple is unusual in that it’s a Double Temple. It is dedicated to two gods and each side of the temple is a duplicate of the other side. The eastern side of the temple is dedicated to the crocodile god, Sobek. The western side of the temple is dedicated to the falcon god, Horus.

In the first picture, you can see the main entrance with its duplicate entry doors. In the picture, the left side door and temple is dedicated to Horus and the right side door and temple is dedicated to Sobek.

The second photo is looking at some of the columns in the Hypostyle Hall of the temple.

The third photo is inside the temple. It gives you some idea of the many rooms and the size of the temple.

In all three of these photos, if you look closely, you can see bas relief carvings on most surfaces. They carved reliefs on the pillars, walls, doors, ceilings, etc.
