Visit the Temple of Kom Ombo:
This temple, along with its nearby settlement, is situated 40 kilometers north of Aswan. It was consecrated to the gods Sobek and Horus and primarily dates back to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods (332 BC - 395 AD).
- Temple of Horus - This prominent Upper Egyptian site features a remarkably well-preserved temple devoted to Horus, the falcon deity. The Ptolemaic Temple of Horus was built on the foundation of an older temple and dates back to the time between the rule of Ptolemy III (246 BC). The inscriptions on the temple walls narrate the myth of the struggle between Horus and Seth, which was likely reenacted yearly as a sacred play.
