Kom Ombo Travel Blogs

A trip down the Nile River is a must in my opinion.    I had arranged to do just that whilst I was in Aswan and early on the morning of the planned departure I met Captain Nasir, his First Mate, Fati and three others who were soon to be new chums of mine.A couple from Holland, Ed & Ma…

It's really not too often that one gets a surprise of a lifetime staring at one's face. I've had this experience happen before. It happens every time I step out of the Westminster tube station in London and I find myself staring at the Clock Tower, or I'm driving on Highway…

Kom ombo was our next stop which is also popular with its temple. Kom ombo means "gold hill".  Don't miss to see the crocodile mummy behind this temple.

We were back aboard by noon and underway shortly thereafter.  Though we’d stopped at Kom Ombo on the way up river, we did so again so the “new” people could visit it.  They declined to do so, however, so all of us just sat on the ship at the dock.  Since the temple was virtuall…

Egypt is a treasury of ancient "relicts".The 2 weeks I spent here with my friend Pavel were full of several things: unforgottable experiences, "hassle" by the merchandisers, beautifull sceneries, heat, sun and dust, nice and even annoying people. What it wasn't? Definitely not boring.

After sailing down the Nile for a few more hours, we docked at Kom Ombo.  Unfortunately, we could only stay here for a few hours as we had to sail to Aswan that evening.  We made the most of our time by walking to the temple, which was very close to the river.  Although it was late a…

We headed north on our Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. When the boat was going North through the Nile stream, the wind was blowing on our heads because off the speed. It really creates a lovely cool off in this hot Egyptian weather. During the boat trip of 4 days, there a things to visit in old pl…

Schatten uit de Oudheid

Another afternoon not moving much, because the wind was too strong to sail. At night we had a bonfire, some locals came down and played the drums, I gave out izzy wizzies, and had a great time. Since we didn't get far enough, we returned to Aswan this morning, and took a mini bus to Kom Omb…
