This temple is considered one of the best-preserved cult temples in all of Egypt, filled with rich inscriptions that serve throughout history as precious witnesses shedding light on the period of the ancient Egyptians during which the temple was erected. Through the halls and courtyards of the temple, narrated are the stories of the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus are narrated — a highlight of many  Aswan sightseeing tours.

The party then returns by the banks of the Nile to the Temple of Kom Ombo. This splendid temple, erected between 1350 and 180 B.C. on the orders of Ramses II, is dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile-headed god.
