View of the stone cliffs right above Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir El Bahri, near Luxor

Another amazing item about the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir El Bahri is the structure of the stone cliffs that over-shadow the temple and are part of the beautiful image of the temple. You can see how these limestone cliffs have a shape and structure of their own, and look chiseled and carved on their own.
