Deir el-Bahari is one of the most striking monuments in Egypt — a colonnaded three-tiered temple cut into the base of dramatic limestone cliffs on the West Bank. It was built by Hatshepsut, Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh, in the 15th century BC. The setting is extraordinary even before you step inside.
