2. Then transfer to see to the Temple of Kom Omob standing on high grounds overlooking the Nile, the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris in Kom Ombo (also known simply as Kom Ombo Temple) dates from about 180 BC during the Ptolemaic era, with additions made into Roman times It stands right on the bank of the Nile between Edfu and Aswan, making it a convenient stop for river cruises The temple at Kom Ombo was also built at this time, under Ptolemy VI. Since this bend in the Nile was a favored spot for crocodiles to bask in the sun and threaten locals, it is natural that the temple would be dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god. But it is unusual in having a double dedication: it also honors Haroeris, a form of the falcon-headed god Horus. The hypostyle halls were added under Ptolemy XIII (51-47 BC); the Roman emperor Trajan (53-117 AD) added the forecourt and outer enclosure walls. Then you will be transferred back to your hotel /cruise in Luxor

About Luxor

Luxor sorge sul sito dell'antica Tebe, con vasti templi sulla riva orientale del Nilo e le tombe reali della Valle dei Re sull'altra sponda.

Sulla riva orientale, il complesso del tempio di Karnak si estende per ettari di piloni, obelischi e la foresta di colonne della sua Grande Sala Ipostila. Un viale di sfingi lo collega al Tempio di Luxor nel centro della città, particolarmente suggestivo quando è illuminato la sera. Il Museo di Luxor e il Museo della Mummificazione si trovano lungo la passeggiata sul fiume.
