Highlights
- Temple of Kom Ombo - Drive to Kom Ombo which is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan , It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty ,Some additions to it were later made during the Roman Period ,The building is unique because its double design meant that there were courts , halls , sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods . The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek the god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu , The northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Horus . The Temple is atypical because every thing is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis .

Temple highlight, but missing service.. - Our guide, Hafiz, was amazing with his knowledge about the temples and showing us the details in the history which we really appreciated.
The temples are definitely two of the most interesting that i'd seen in Egypt. So I'd recommend for those looking for highlights.
I have one criticism which was that we didn't receive any snacks or lunch that was supposed to be included in the package that we paid for. Our tour was during ramadan/fasting month which meant that there were limited options for food. Considering this, we started the day at 7am, and were only told around 4pm that we were going straight back to the hotel instead of being fed.
We weren't compensated for the service that we didn't get, Unfortunately.
