* Dayr al-Bahri is an ancient mortuary temple complex located in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt.
* It was built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt from 1479 to 1458 BC.
* The temple was dedicated to the goddess Amun-Ra and was used for Hatshepsut's funerary rites.
* Dayr al-Bahri is known for its unique architectural design, which features a series of terraces that rise from the valley floor to a height of over 100 meters (328 feet).
* The terraces are adorned with reliefs and statues depicting Hatshepsut and her achievements, as well as scenes from Egyptian mythology.
* The temple also features a mortuary chapel and a "holy of holies" where Hatshepsut's mummy was originally interred.
* Dayr al-Bahri was damaged over time by earthquakes, floods, and tomb robbers, but it has undergone extensive restoration work in recent years.
* Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Egypt.
