Kom Ombo Temple_In the North Western section of the complex of kom ombo temple is a circular well that was used as a Nilometer, a tool that the ancient Egyptians used to measure the level of the water of the Nile, similar to the one located in the Rhoda Island in Cairo.

This Nilometer was constructed during the Roman period and it is connected to a smaller water well. These Nilometers were of particular importance especially during the season of the flooding of the Nile.
