The temple features a series of terraces with elegant colonnades and statues of the queen herself. The grand structure was built to commemorate her reign as one of Egypt’s most successful and powerful female pharaohs.
Inside the temple, you’ll find amazing reliefs that tell the story of Hatshepsut’s famous trading expedition to the Land of Punt and her divine birth.
