It also has scenes from the Myth of Osiris among many scenes and reliefs of different themes. Return to Cruise Navigation to Kom Ombo. Lunch during navigation. In the afternoon, visit the Kom Ombo Temple, which expresses human duality, according to the legend of the two brothers: Sobek and Horus the Great. The temple was built on the banks of the river and dedicated to Horus the Great and Sobek-Ra. The temple is characterized by beautiful deep reliefs and contains unique scenes, but one of the most important scenes in the temple is this impressive scene of surgical instruments, dating back to the 2nd century BC, which confirms that the temple served as a hospital that mainly served pilgrims and patients by the priests of Horus the Great, known as the Good Physician. Also in the area, many crocodile mummies have been found and are currently on display in a museum known as the Crocodile Museum. Return transfer.
