Hatshepsut's Mortuary Temple was known in antiquity as Djeser-Djeseru or the Holy of Holies. The objective of the temple, like other large Egyptian buildings, was to pay honor to the Gods and document the magnificent reign of its architect.

About Luxor
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.
On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
