This site has twin temples dedicated to the gods Horus (the falcon) and Sobek (the crocodile). Amazing to think how 3000 years ago they managed to hoist these huge pieces of stone so high without machinery. The remaining columns and walls are amazing with some red carvings and it really does make one wish that one could have seen it in its original splendor.
The unique part though is the museum of mummified crocodiles, which is really something.

Kom Ombo was purposely built for the Sobek and Haroeris gods. Made predominantly of limestone and rising above the banks of the Nile with lovely views. It is unique in design as it consists of two symmetrical temples. All its sanctuaries, halls and rooms point to being dedicated to the two gods. Kom Ombo features scalpels, forceps, prescriptions, birthing chairs, medicine bottles dating back to Roman Egypt and one of the oldest nilometers to measure water levels.

If you'ré going by boat then it is an easy walk , less than 2 minutes to get there. It is significant for its calendar but not one of the bigger temples.

The temple is small, but interesting because it is two parallel temples dedicated to two different Gods. It is easy to get to, the Nile Cruise boats pull up to a dock immediately at the temple.
That said, all the boats that leave Luxor on Monday arrive at the temple within a few hours of each other and disgorge all their passengers into this very small temple. Our visit was crowded and noisy and it seemed most interesting spots in the temple had become sites for competitions over who could jump in front of each interesting point in the temple to take a set of selfies.
In December, we visited in the dark. The temple is lit although the lights went out briefly a couple of times. We just waited until they came on.
Adding to dreary sense of the visit, this is one of the temples where many (most) of the carved faces were chiseled away centuries ago, which undercuts the aesthetic experience.
There is an associated small "crocodile mummy museum" on the site. I am not one to get excited over a dozen black crocodile mummies though there are some beautiful stelae in the museum. By the time we reached the museum, the crowds from Kim Ombo were now crowed in here... as I was studying one of the stelae some tourist started yelling at me to stop blocking progress through the Museum. That sort of topped off the visit.
I had wished to visit Upper Egypt for many years, and everything I had hoped to see was wonderful.
Kom Ombo, not on my list of must-sees, was the one down experience of our Nile Cruise

We visited in tremendous heat but it was well worth the visit. Really interesting site and mythology. The biggest Nilometer in Egypt and the only place where 2 gods are worshipped, 2 styles of column Egyptian and Corinthian and the tools for removing the vital organs are shown carved into the rock. A must see.

This was the only dual deity temple we visited. It was dedicated to god Horus and god Sobek (crocodile). There were even mummified crocodiles.
