3Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari is one of ancient Egypt’s most impressive funerary monuments, rivaling the grandeur of the pyramids. Carved into the cliffs opposite the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises in three sweeping terraces connected by ramps, each framed by rows of stark, square pillars. Built in honor of one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut called it the "Splendor of Splendors." While earlier rulers like Mentuhotep II began construction as early as 2050 BC, Hatshepsut’s additions define the site’s iconic form. Though many statues and sphinxes have disappeared over time, the temple’s clean lines and dramatic scale remain striking. Inside, cool stone halls shelter vivid wall reliefs and hieroglyphics, offering a serene escape from the desert heat.
