Kom Ombo Temple and Crocodile Museum


The Kom Ombo Temple is considered one of the most important tourists and archaeological monuments in Egypt in terms of its architectural and religious distinction. The temple appears as consisting of two parts, separated by an imaginary line, Where the northern part was to worship the Holy Trinity of Horus, The southern part for the worship of the sacred Sobek.

The temple contains a large group of historical scenes, including the goddess Maat, the goddess of truth and justice, and a group of ancient surgical and medical tools that were used by the ancient Egyptian and the list of Egyptian holidays that were held in the temple.

The Temple of Kom Ombo is very similar to the Temple of Edfu and the Temple of Philae from the inside in terms of architecture and design, as there is a front yard, columns, statues, and interior halls until it reaches the halls of the Holy of Holies.

Inside the temple, there are a number of inscriptions and drawings that show the ancient pharaonic life and religious rituals that the ancient Egyptians performed in order to worship the gods.

The Crocodile Museum is one of the largest zoological museums for animals located in the Kom Ombo Temple and contains crocodiles that were mummified by King Ombo since ancient times.

The museum displays about 22 crocodiles and 50 other crocodiles that were found, and the ages of the crocodiles vary between embryonic stage, small crocodiles, and large crocodiles.
