This is a great historic site. Not as impressive as others but still well worth the visit. Great views from the highest level looking back over Luxor.

Grand on the outside but there isn't much to see on the interior. Most of the structures are already been destroyed. There aren't many description boards on the premises and hiring a guide or reading up on your own before visiting will help to understand the history of this place.
The general admission is 160 LE in 2023. Don't bother to buy an extra ticket to take the electric train to the Mortuary. It is an easy 10 min walk from the main entrance.
Same as Valley of the Kings, go as early as possible or late afternoon. This place can get really busy and difficult to take nice shots of the surrounding.

It's amazing that something this old can still look so incredibly good. Queen Hatchepsut outdid herself so many years ago. Even to this day, it's a very impressive monument and a true work of art.

This was an incredible sight and was on my bucket list, the ruins feel so ancient that you somehow question everything, there is a big crowd after 9AM so I highly suggest you go as early as possible, there are guards stationed who advise not to touch anything and it’s a safe and secure area, you can pay 50 Egyptian pounds to use a cart to take you to the temple which is about 700 metres away which we did because it was 30 degrees Celsius and the sun was burning, you can choose to walk like many people did. It’s a once in a lifetime sight and I enjoyed it

We saw this on our tour of the VOK. It is amazing to see and absolutely huge! It is very modern looking. There are many interesting hieroglyphics and paintings. Really should do with a tour guide.

When is the best time to visit the temple. In the morning, around 1 PM or in the afternoon?

Hi Claudine, my recommendation is to go during the morning, the earliest the better. Mainly because of the temperature it might get very hot depending of the time of the year.

How long did it take to go thru this Temple and the other tombs in the Valley of the Kings?

Depends on your level of interest? If you're on your own and not very interested I guess you can go through this temple in... 30-45 mins? If you're interested and wanna see things through you can easily spend hours. If you're there on a busy day you can spend an hour just queing. Valley of the king's depend on the same issues and on what tombs you choose to see - popular or less popular - but you'd be hard pressed to do valley of the king's in less than an hour, even if you run through.
So, your answer: depends on you!
I'd recommend 4-6 hours to see both places, but then, I love both!

While Bill's answer is true for many of the historic temples in Egypt, Hatshepsut's Temple in the Valley of the Kings is slightly different. According to our guide, Hatshepsut's Temple suffered a lot of damage from an earthquake. Many of the columns fell and roof caved in. The restoration completed so far is fantastic.

Does it cost money to see Hatshepsut?

hello...yes it did...I think about 50 egp...( approx. 8 AUD )...nearly all tourist sites have an entrance fee. If u go to see Hatshepsut's place do NOT get involved with the 'guides' at the top all too willing to take a picture for u. They will ALL demand a payment for their favour which is normal for Egypt. And run thru the market they channel u thru on way to temple...its full of crap stuff that u wouldn't want. Just smile and say '' no thank u " and keep walking at a good pace. my biggest tip for all of Egypt...lol, do not stop or they will swarm.
