Egypt: Hatshepsut’s Temple (Art & Travel)

Hatshepsut – the person and her legacy – came into my radar during a college class in Old Testament Bible Archaeology. A visit to her temple was high on my To Do list as we traveled to Egypt’s Valley of The Kings (and Queens!) on our 2024 Viking Nile River Cruise.

In its setting at the foot of a sheer limestone cliff-face, Hatshepsut’s Temple is an imposing and stunning sight. Photos in travel and art history books do not begin to do it justice.
