Temple of Kom Ombo
The forecourt was added by Trajan, but all that remains are low walls and the bases of pillars. It is the facade of the temple that remains mostly intact. The outer hypostyle hall still retains most of its columns. The lily and papyrus symbols of UPper and Lower Egypt are engraved on their bases.
The inner hypostyle hall is slightly better preserved, with fine reliefs done by Ptolemy VII and showing him interacting with the gods Haroeriris. He is accompanied by his sister, Cleopatra.
