Deir el-Bahari is an ancient mortuary temple located on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt. It was built during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the few female pharaohs, around 1479-1458 BCE. The temple is known for its impressive architecture, featuring terraces, colonnades, and beautifully decorated walls that depict the queen's achievements and divine birth. The site is part of the Theban Necropolis and is surrounded by stunning cliffs. It served as a place of worship for the goddess Hathor and was designed to honor Hatshepsut after her death. Today, it remains a significant archaeological site and a popular tourist destination.
