Kom ombo temple was built 180 years ago (B.C)by the Ptolemaic dynasty during the Roman invasion, what's so special about the temple of Kom ombo that it stands right on the river bank between Edfu and Aswan and you can visit it on day trip with Magic Life Tours agency. the Temple of Kom Ombo has two identical entrances, hypostyle halls and sanctuaries. It is assumed that there were also two priesthoods. The left (western) side of the temple was dedicated to the god Haroeris, and the right (eastern) half to Sobek. Magic Life Tours agency has already provided Luxor tours that include Kom ombo temple visits. The name Kom Ombo is derived from the ancient Egyptian site of Ombos, derived from the ancient Egyptian word “nwbt”, which means gold. In ancient Egypt, this city was important because it controlled the routes of the commercial caravans that went to Nubia through the valley of the Nile. That’s why all the powers that once controlled the country, kept a military fortification in Ombos Kom Ombo.

Passing into the temple’s forecourt, where reliefs are divided between the two gods, there is a double altar in the centre of the court for both gods. Beyond are the shared inner and outer hypostyle halls, each with 10 columns. Inside the outer hypostyle hall, to the left is a finely executed relief showing Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos being presented to Haroeris by Isis and the lion-headed goddess Raettawy, with Thoth looking on. The walls to the right show the crowning of Ptolemy XII by Nekhbet (the vulture-goddess worshipped at the Upper Egyptian town of Al Kab) and Wadjet (the snake-goddess based at Buto in Lower Egypt) with the dual crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolising the unification of Egypt. It's well worth a visit for its beautiful columns. Visit it with Magic Life Tours agency.
