The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek the god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu , The northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Horus . The Temple is atypical because every thing is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis .

Great tour of Edfu and Kom Ombo temples followed by a night out in Aswan - Wonderfully interesting tour of Edfu and Kom Ombo temples with Dr Mohamed Ali Abbasy, fabulous explanation of those incredible sites as well as a thoroughly interesting visit to Aswan market and a great dinner nearby, followed by a great tour of Aswan in a horse driven carriage- highly recommend!
