It differs from other temples because of its double entrance; each one is dedicated to divinity: "Haroeris" with his falcon head and "Sobek " with his crocodile head. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built on the honor of two deities the crocodile-headed Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world, and Haroeris or the ancient falcon-headed Horus.
