Temple of Hatshepsut
Deir el-Bahri is a complex of mortuary temples and tombs located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the city of Luxor, Egypt.
In 1997, 58 tourists and 4 Egyptians were massacred here by Islamist militants from Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya in what has become to be known as The 'Luxor massacre'. This led to an overall drop in tourism in the area.
The first monument built at the site was the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh dynasty.
During the Eighteenth dynasty, Amenhotep I and Hatshepsut also built extensively at the site.
