Photo-Finish Friday -- Evening In Egypt

EgyptOly 194


Above is the entrance to the Temple of Kom Ombo. It's the only temple in Egypt devoted to two gods: Horus the Elder on one side and Sobek, the Crocodile-headed god on the other.

Most of our sight seeing was done either early in the morning before it got too terribly hot or in the evenings when the lights of the temples added to the sensory experience.

I would think you could see more at night when you aren't squinting against the sun.

I never think of night time sight seeing when I think of someone traveling. But of course, it adds an element to the experience.

It didn't occur to me until I experienced it, Hilary.
