Kom Ombo

Remember that morning that I woke up at 3:00am? And it was worth it, because I got to see Abu Simbel? Later that day - around 11:30am - we boarded a Nile Valley Cruise boat. And then that same evening, we visited another site - Kom Ombo, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek - at night.

It was a big day.







Here's a crocodile on an offering table with some bread. Look, he even has a sun disk on his head (no, that one's not a piece of bread, unfortunately...). Isn't he cute?

Abu Simbel

Once upon a time, I woke up at 3:00am. Why would anyone do that? For Abu Simbel...







It was worth it.
