Dating back to the Ptolemaic period, around 200-50 BC, with later Roman additions, this ancient temple is a testament to the rich cultural and religious history of ancient Egypt. Located near Aswan, the Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique double temple dedicated to the gods Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god.
