It is located in Kom Ombo town, 45 km north of Aswan, it is built on a hillside overlooking the Nile. This temple was constructed in the Ptolemaic Roman era for the worship of god Haroeris and Sobek, the crocodile god. It is noted for relief engravings on its wails which show ancient surgical tools, bones saws and dentistry tools. Nearby there are three mummified crocodiles. They are now in Hathor's chapel. Near Kom Ombo you can go on a visit to camel market held every Tuesday in Draw, where camels brought from north Sudan are sold.
