"Tourists approach the ancient Egyptian Temple of Hatshepsut near the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Djeser-Djeseru, is located beneath cliffs at Deir el Bahari (""the Northern Monastery""). The mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is considered one of the ""incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt."" The temple was the site of the massacre of 62 people, mostly tourists, by Islamists on 17 November 1997."
