The Crocodile Museum in Kom Ombo is a fascinating destination that delves into the ancient Egyptian reverence for crocodiles, particularly prevalent in the crocodile cult at Fayoum in Egypt. This unique museum showcases artifacts, mummified crocodiles, crocodile eggs, wooden sarcophagi and crocodile fetuses, and depictions of crocodile deities and rituals that provide insight into the significance of crocodiles in ancient Egyptian culture.

Located near the Temple of Kom Ombo, the Crocodile Museum offers visitors a glimpse into the sacred role of crocodiles in Egyptian mythology and religious practices. Crocodiles were associated with the god Sobek, who symbolized power, fertility, and protection. The museum highlights how crocodiles were mummified and worshiped as manifestations of this powerful deity.

Tour: AROUND EGYPT IN 14 DAYS TOUR
It was a wonderful trip. To just be immersed in the culture, everything was so rich to be a part of this. There are no words to describe this feeling. The smells, the people, the sites, the sounds, it was all very stimulating. This is something I'm gonna carry with me for the rest of my life. I don't think I can top this vacation ever.It's hard to pick my most favorite Egypt sites because Inside Egypt took our group to amazing places and gave us special access to them. I have to say that the Karnak temple was absolutely amazing and the Giza Pyramids too, all the areas that you can go to... You can't ever imagine the places that you see. What you see on television is very different from experiencing it. Egypt is absolutely safe. I have never once felt at all in danger. It's 100% safe. I have been to so many countries and this is one of the safest countries I've been to.The service was 5-star, absolutely excellent. Everything I needed, I got, and they were almost psychic, they were mind readers. I didn't even have to ask and they would bring it for me.You have to come to Egypt. It is absolutely amazing. If you want to have a life changing experience and come back as a changed person, this is the place to come to. It is spiritual, emotional, and physical. It is a very moving country. You really need to go.

Our time with Inside Egypt was -- and I can’t overstate this enough -- extraordinary. Do not hesitate to book with them.We did a two-day itinerary with the first day Sphinx + Giza plateau (including a camel ride) and our second day GEM + walk through Khan el-Khalili. The private access to the paws at the Sphinx was a lifetime memory. HIGHLY recommend. We also enjoyed our walk through the historic bazaar as we had no agenda and just wanted to experience the vibrancy and culture (and don't miss out on getting some Zalabya!).On the planning side, Tiffany replied incredibly fast. Was transparent about pricing. Recommend options to us. Adjusted our itinerary when we requested it. Handled reservations that were impossible to get (Khufu's at the Giza Plateau). Provided helpful travel tips. And so much more.On the tour side, no detail was missed by Mustafa, our tour leader. He was constantly ensuring everything was going well. He was always a few steps ahead of us to make sure arrangements were ready for us. Cold bottled waters were plenty available. He also held onto our items when we wanted to snap a photo -- or snapped a bunch of photos for us as well! Eslam was new to Inside Egypt and it was great to have him along to learn from Mustafa (and to help us drive down costs at Khan el-Khalili).Our Egyptologist was Ahmed and he was world class. So much so that when we were at GEM other guides went out of their way to share how lucky we were to have him as our guide. He was highly educated in his fields and shared his passion for Egypt's history and culture with his full heart and soul. We ended up changing our plans for the day because we enjoyed our time with him so much.Mohammed was our driver and kept us very safe in frenetic Cairo traffic. He was always there on time to pick us up and drop us off.Our two-day itinerary with them exceeded our expectations in every sense.
