kom ombo
Kom Ombo is an ancient town in Egypt, known for its unique double temple dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god of the Nile, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. Located on the banks of the Nile River, the Kom Ombo Temple is distinctive for its symmetrical design, where both halves of the temple mirror each other, each side dedicated to one of the gods. The temple, built during the Ptolemaic period, is a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian architecture and religious practices. Visitors can explore its well-preserved reliefs, including depictions of medical instruments, and enjoy a stunning view of the Nile.
