Temple of Hatshepsut

This is one of the most famous structure associated with Egypt but for the wrong reason. It was the site of the 1997 terrorist attack where up to 60 people were killed. The after effect was drastic as Egypt's tourism industry collapsed totally and took years to recover.

The Temple is partly rock-cut and partly free-standing structure is one of the finest monument of ancient Egypt. Its very difficult to imagine that this monumental and beautiful structure was built thousands of years ago (1515 B.C.) for Queen Hatshepsut. This was the period of great Egyptian empire over entire known world.
