Kom Ombo Temple

Perched on a high sandy hill right on the edge of the Nile, about 45 km north of Aswan, stands the unique Temple of Kom Ombo. It is often called the "double temple," and this is not just a metaphor: it is the only temple in Egypt symmetrically dedicated to two gods with equal honor. The temple`s reliefs, executed during the Ptolemaic and Roman eras, make a profound impression.
