The mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut can be seen from a great distance and the sight of this splendid terraced temple against the backdrop of the rough cliffs is unforgettable and dramatic.

The half hour walk is well worth the effort and the... more

This is an absolutly amazing place, it quite a walk from the entrance to the top, but a tram will take you nearer.
