The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

If you are traveling to Luxor, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is a must-see. Built around 3,500 years ago, this impressive temple was created for Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable female rulers.

The temple is famous for its three large terraces carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, its impressive columns, and its beautiful reliefs depicting Hatshepsut’s reign and her famous expedition to the Land of Punt.

You can visit the temple as part of several of our private Luxor tours, including our popular Luxor Highlights Tour, Full West Bank Tour, 2-Day Luxor Tour, and 3-Day Luxor Tour. It is also possible to include the temple in a customized private tour, allowing you to explore Luxor at your own pace.
