Itinerary and highlights
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 .
Next drive to Edfu Temple which is located on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu , it is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt . The temple was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC . There are important scenes and inscriptions of the Sacred Drama which related the age old conflict between Horus and Seth .
