The Hatshepsut Temple at Deir El-Bahri is one of Egypt's most characteristic temples and the most distinguishing temple on earth. The Temple of Hatshepsut was commissioned by a lady who governed Egypt with a policy. At King Hatshesut's daughter, Tutmosis I, the temple was completed. It was made of calestone to honour the accomplishments of the great Queen Hatshepsut (18th Dynasty).
Hatshepsut Temple
Hatshepsut Temple Situated on the west bank of Luxor, Hatshepsut Temple is one of the most extraordinary temples in the region, directly across the Nile from Karnak Temple. Known as El Deir El Bahi, this temple highlights a significant period in history. It was constructed to honor the accomplishments of Queen Hatshepsut (circa 1478/72-1458 B.C.E.). Serving as both a funerary temple and a sanctuary for Amun Ra, the temple features the narrative of the divine birth.
The design of the Hatshepsut temple, known as Djeser-djeseru or "the Holy of Holies," was executed by Senenmut, the chief steward of Amun. The enduring influence of Queen Hatshepsut is evident in her creation of two obelisks and the construction of a road dedicated to Amun, the king of the gods.
Her statue exhibits masculine characteristics, including a traditional beard, shendyt kilt, and head cloth, symbolizing her authority. Visitors can explore this magnificent temple of the powerful pharaoh queen through Egypt Classic Tours, allowing them to appreciate one of the most stunning examples of Egyptian civilization.
The temple's location on the west bank, near the Valley of Kings where royal tombs are found, was strategically chosen to solidify her status among the kings. King Thutmose III and Hatshepsut Temple Hatshepsut, the elder daughter of King Thutmose I, took on the role of regent during the 19th dynasty following the death of her husband, King Tuthmosis II. King Thutmose III, the son of her husband, had a detrimental impact on the temple. He initiated the destruction of the temple by vandalizing her statues and defacing her images. Various theories have been proposed regarding the motivations behind his actions. Some scholars suggest that he sought to prevent any disruption to the lineage and rule established by Tuthmosis I and II. Others believe he aimed for a seamless succession for his own son. Through our specialized Nile cruise tours, one can witness the remnants of the temple and the extensive restoration efforts undertaken throughout the ages.
The temple is constructed using the same material as the natural mountainous surroundings. It is adorned with a central ramp leading to the cliff through multiple terraces, with the lower terraces being lush with trees. Explore the temple of Hatshepsut with Egypt luxury tours and a knowledgeable tour guide to uncover all the secrets of the temple. Hatshepsut's temple consists of three storeys and is home to numerous statues made entirely of limestone, depicting various deities such as Osiris and Queen Hatshepsut. The two mihrabs are prominent features of the temple and are the largest of their kind. A granite door is situated in front of the wall opposite the mihrab entrance.
