Hatshepsut depiction as a King is fascinating… one of the few pharoahs’ biographies that intrigued me in Egypt, but it was 2pm in Luxor in March and I was so dazed by the sun I could barely look at her temple from the outside & had to run inside it. Sweat streaming off me. I wd like to explore Luxor’s most exposed temples one winter bc the desert heat is bound to be more forgiving then.

Luxor is such a special place! And completely agree re exploring these places in winter - would make for a much more pleasant experience 🥵
