Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Djeser-Djeseru ("Holy of Holies"), is an ancient funerary shrine in Upper Egypt. Built for the Eighteenth dynasty Pharaoh Hatshepsut, it is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari, on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings. The mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun deity Amun and is situated next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt.
On most photes you can see usual front view of the temple, but this time here is the right corner of it with nice almost vertical mountains at background. That makes the view almost epic ;)
Enjoy the scenery :)

Very informative post. Thanks for sharing
What a majestic building! All these ancient temples still look wonderful even after thousands of years! It happened I just posted some photos of Chinese temple as well, but in Phuket:) Would be great to have a temple photo contest to study about religions of different ages and areas! Cheers, mate!
Very nice shot! Egypt looks like a very beautiful place!
