3Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari stands among the greatest funerary monuments of the ancient world, rivaling even the Pyramids in its grandeur. Carved into the towering cliff that overlooks the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises over three vast terraces connected by ramps, each lined with simple, square-pillared colonnades. Named after one of Egypt’s rare female pharaohs, Hatshepsut proudly called her monument the "Splendor of Splendors." While much of the structure dates back to earlier rulers, starting with Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC, many of its sphinxes and statues have disappeared over time, giving it a more austere, monumental look. Inside, the cool stone chambers provide a refreshing retreat from the desert heat, showcasing well-preserved wall reliefs and vibrant hieroglyphics in vivid colors.

Though little remains of Amenhotep III’s grand memorial temple, the two towering statues that once flanked its entrance have stood firm for over 3,400 years.
