[Egypt Travel] Crocodile mummies are amazing! 🤩 Don't miss this crocodile museum when you come to Egypt🐊

The Crocodile Museum in Aswan is one of Egypt's most unique small museums, dedicated to the ancient Egyptians' worship and belief in crocodiles. Located near the renowned Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, the museum houses a rich collection of crocodile-related religious artifacts.

The museum's most striking features are the dozens of crocodile mummies, ranging in size from juveniles to enormous adults, all in stunningly well-preserved condition. Besides the mummies, there are also statues dedicated to the crocodile god, temple vessels, and ancient murals, offering a glimpse into how the ancient Egyptians viewed crocodiles as sacred guardians of the Nile.

The exhibition space is small, yet rich in information, making it an excellent place to delve into ancient Egyptian animal deities. For travelers interested in animals or mummification, this is a must-see and a perfect extension to their itinerary before leaving Kom Ombo.
