Memorial Temple of Hatshepsut and view from top

 At Deir Al Bahri,  first you see the dramatic  cliffs that rise nearly 300m above the desert plain.  You can admire  beauty lies a monument even more extraordinary, the dazzling Temple of Hatshepsut. The almost-modern-looking temple blends in beautifully with the cliffs from which it is partly cut – a marriage made in heaven. Most of that has been  reconstructed.

The domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun’s tomb is surrounded by a garden on what is otherwise a barren slope above the road from Deir Al Bahri to the Valley of the Kings
