Sailing to Kom Ombo. Visit to the temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroreis. In this temple, the relief of the medicinal instruments stands out above all. Over the years, the people of this town did not like to be associated with a god who represents evil (Sobek), so they added another god, Haroreis, as his brother and partner in the temple cult. Legend has it that Sobek, the evil brother, plotted against his brother Haroreis and the population when he saw his beloved god leave the town, and he also left until the town was completely deserted.
