Night Visit to Temple of Kom Ombo (E13/25)

 

After the long journey back from Abu Simbel, our cruise set sail North towards Kom Ombo.




It was such a relaxing things to do watching sun slowly set on the River Nile.
It was already dark when we arrived at Temple of Kom Ombo.
The unique features of this temple is everything in double. There were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, while the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris.


I try to take the stars on the dark sky above the temple without success.
The air was heavily pooluted with light and the dust particle during this season . The best I can get is the satelite that are brighter and nearer to earth.
