After your visit, you will eat a delicious lunch onboard your Nile Cruise with our Egyptologist. Inside the temple, you will behold the best-preserved Ancient Egyptian temple of devotion, featuring the Great Pylons' combat hallway, which depicts the Falcon God of Sky confronting the devil's Hippopotamus symbol. Your horse carriage driver will then take you back to the ship, where you may spend the remainder of the day sailing the Nile and enjoying the scenery. Later this evening, your boat will dock in Kom Ombo, where you may take a night tour of the Temple of the Crocodile God, which was built in 180 BC. Our Egyptologist will detail the Nilo Meter, the Ancient Calendar, the crocodile mummy room, and how this site was once used as a hospital, with medical equipment carved into the Temple walls to cure various maladies.
