Thank you for these--so many unusual views! Deir el-Bahri is one of the most exquisite temple complexes. ::happy sigh::

It is. *happy sigh here too* I've been told it's the only three-floor temple in Egypt, too.

Thanks for the comment!

I love these photos. Was the surrounding landscape once a garden? I've heard the climate has changed since these places were built.

Thanks!

I believe the Nile used to be way higher up there (quite clear from the way the Ramesseum looks right now), so it makes sense that the ground was more suitable for gardens and stuff.
