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.

Yes, it get so hot you need a nap by afternoon as I remember it.
Great photo, Leah. apologies for my absence lately. I've joined the gang again. :-)
I would think you could see more at night when you aren't squinting against the sun.
Mary Anne in Kentucky, wearing a hat at the breakfast table to cut the morning glare...
Tabor, so true.
David, thanks. Good to have you back.
Mary Anne, good point.
Worth staying up to go see!
It totally is, Messymimi.
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.
