Soul-searching in the Temple of Kom Ombo

As such, it was created with double of everything, including two entrances, two altars and two vast main halls. Highlights include sacred carvings and mummified crocodiles. The temple has a spectacular setting on the Nile riverbank, too.
Admire Aswan High Dam

Aswan’s impressive High Dam is a feat of modern engineering. It was built in the 1960s to control the flow of the River Nile and protect Egypt and its ancient sites from flooding. The creation of the dam also resulted in Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest artificial lakes, which stands at 11m high and stretches for 3.6km.
An Egyptian wonder: the Temple of Philae

Traditional felucca ride on the River Nile
