The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri

At Deir el-Bahri we visit the astonishing temple of Hatshepsut - arguably the most beautiful matching of architecture and natural setting in the world. The temple rises in steps towards the sheer cliff-face. In addition to viewing the reliefs of the porticoes we shall investigate the Chapel of Hathor at the southern-side of the main temple.
