Hieroglyphs at the temple to Crocodile God Sobek at Kom Ombo by River Nile in Egypt
The temple to Sobek, the crocodile god, at Kom Ombo in Egypt. This seems to have been a temple for healing the sick. On its walls are the only pictures of surgical instruments and depictions of women in labour in all Egypt. To fully discover the ancient wonders of Egypt, a cruise on the River Nile is truly an unforgettable experience. The Nile River has been Egypt’s lifeline since ancient times and there is no better way to trace the course of Egypt’s history than to follow the course of the Nile. Luxor is unique among the world's cities, originally built on the site of ancient Thebes over 4,000 years it is home to some of the most spectacular ancient sites in the world. Wherever you go, you can't afford to miss a thing. You will experience the past and the present, with a wealth of history and culture that spans centuries. There is hardly anywhere in the city that does not have a relic, offering you an impressive representation of the splendour of the ancient Egyptians several thousand years ago.
