Kom Ombo
Our last stop on the Felucca was Kom Ombo Temple. Kom Ombo is dedicated to the crocodile god, Sobek, and when you see the size of some of the mumified crocodiles in both this temple and at the Cairo museum, you can see why the ancients figured crocodiles were important. It's right on the edge of the Nile and, ironically, after dedicating it to the crocodile, lots of the workers were eaten by crocodiles during the building of it. The other highlight here was - Cleopatra's bath.

Edfu Temple
A bus ride away from Kom Ombo was Edfu Temple dedicated to the falcon god, Horus, which is bigger than Kom Ombo, but not as big as Karnak Temple. It is quite well preserved after being covered in sand for a number of years and, like many temples in Egpyt, has most of the god's faces scratched out by the Christians - quite sad, but all part of history in itself I guess.

Karnak Temple
Karnak Temple in Luxor was the most impressive, both in scale and vast array of things to see, of the temples we visited. We caught horse-drawn carriages from outside our hotel and met a guide there. Unfortunately, we were pretty much 'templed' out by this stage, and it was late in the afternoon, but memorable sights were where the roman soldiers used the temple to sharpen their swords and just the sheer size of the pillars.
