the Temple of Kom Ombo, admission LE 20 - an unusual dual Temple of Sobek and Haroeris dating to the reign of Ptolemy VI and part of that ruler's extensive building program. Earlier Pharaonic remains have been detected at the site, but little now remains of these. The temple suffered some damage in the earthquake of 1992 and has been closed until recently for two years' extensive renovation, at a cost of LE 15 million.
The Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities has announced mid-April 2005 that the Kom Ombo temple will re-open to visitors in May 2005, visits now to be augmented by a museum / galleries devoted to the crocodile cult.
